Balance has much to do with the horses movement. There are several balance issues in horses. A horse that is built downhill, meaning the croup is higher than the withers. Causes the horse to carry more weight on the front end and they will tend to be short strided in front and pull themselves along instead of engaging their hind legs properly. If a horses feet don't match very well they can cause the horse to have a teeter totter type feel to it from having to balance on uneven feet while moving. A horse that is built uphill, meaning the withers are higher than the croup will be able to engage it's hind end naturally and move it's forehand up and make it a light mover because it can balance itself well, this also applies to horses with level toplines.

Does deafness affect movement?

Yes. The ear has three parts: outer (what you see on the side of your head), middle (the auricle, or twisty part that you clean out with a q-tip) and the inner. Balance of your body is maintained by parts of your inner ear anatomy, so if you have defects in your inner ear, your balance-- and therefore your movement-- could be affected.
