you might want to check the job your farriers doing.
Proud to be owned by a thoroughbred.

Horses don't stumble on purpose, it goes against their nature as prey animals to intentionally show weakness or a lack of coordination. So please don't blame her or assume this is something she is choosing to do. Something is wrong with her, and she needs you and your grandparents to figure out what it is, and help her.
You said that it had been wet, so are you sure that it wasn't just that the footing was bad? Or was she over due for the farrier? If neither of those things was a problem, then she needs a vet to come out and look at her, and discuss things with your grandparents. The sooner you figure out what the problem is, the sooner she'll get better.

Kicking up both back feet at once sounds like bucking...
And you should call the vet.

| Am I the only one having a difficult time understanding what hte OP is attempitng to say other than she is thinking her horse is stumbeling on purpose? Do some of us a huge favor and go back and repost thinking out clearly what it is you wish to say. Typos I can get through but your sentances themselves seem to jump track a lot. I can even muddle thought the text type.. But I honestly can not make heads or tails out of what you are really trying to say. That said as woodrow said horses dont stumble on purpose. There is usually a reason for it. It can be pain, It can be a bad blacksmith job, It can be physical problems which a vet shold look into. But it can also be a lazy problem.. Ie the horse is going in a foward direction but not moving foward with impulsion and is on the forehand etc. Beyond that until I have a better understanding of what you are trying to say I cant even begin to think of something.

The answer is quit galloping. You need to find the problem first and treat it.
