A horse has no collarbone, therefor the shoulder is not anchored to the body by bone and it swings relatively freely. The shoulder blade is cradled in a mass of muscle and this coupled with the width of the chest can cause a horse to swing it's leg outward a bit, however if the horse is moving in a straight line and does this, it is considered a fault ( in many breeds). However if the horse is moving sideways or semi-sideways then this is perfectly fine as it helps to maintain balance.
