My pleasure! :-) I love a good video analysis! I have trained with Mary Wanless in the UK in her residential courses and it's an integral part of how she teaches (though usually focusing on what the rider is doing there rather than the horse!). I've found looking at video really helpful working with my mare who does all sorts of weird things with her legs! Often slowing down the video footage gives very specific detail as to where something is coming from, and I've found often what I thought were training issues turned out to be coming from something physical (though not always, obviously). I am interested to hear your longer thoughts when you have time! Cinnamon does seem like a very sweet mare! :-)
I did review the video in slow-mo on my phone at least. She does consistently land flat or slightly heel first when she steps, but in the walk she tends to catch that right hind toe, which might explain why she often (but not quite all the time) steps shorter with it. I am hoping it is simply a matter of strengthening as she has not had anything like consistent work in quite some time unfortunately

I don't have time for a full response right now, but at least wanted to acknowledge yours! I should have more time tomorrow.
