Horse that when ever you canter she puts her head down why does she do this?
it may be because the bit is too strong, try swapping the bit and see if problems persist.

Free school her or lunge, to see if she does this without anybody on her back. (if she does still do it, then deffinatley get her back checked.) That's what i would do in my oppinion. PS- many ex racehorses canter with there heads low/necks streched, sometimes its to take pressure away so they can gain more speed. its not neccisarily a problem.
