Did the horse ever has had a bad fall, a friend of mine once owned a mare bought her from the horses in training sales.

After a lot of time, it came out that has fallen in a race, and injured her neck and back really bad.

There was a problem left with the nerve strains and it could not be solved.

Till her death she could not change lead even if she wanted to.

And if the horse's back is sore, check the stifles, hocks, and hind feet. Most of the horses I've seen with sore backs that aren't due to saddle fit have something to do with hind end issues.
