I have an odd question and you seem like the person who would know the answer:

What is it called when horses have their front legs set fairly far back in relation to their shoulder, like is often seen in poorly bred draft crosses?

Does it cause any actual issues or is it just unsightly?

Thanks!

This is an old question I am just now getting around to answering.

Camped Under is the term you are looking for. A horse that stands camped under can have hood pain/issues like navicular, but conformational camped under puts a lot of stress on the tendons and ligaments and is not ideal conformation, can lead to pulled tendons and lameness A lot of times the horse is just standing stupid and isn't actually camped under naturally but here are some visual representations
