I own this lens but have never tried to use it for moving-dog or moving-horse photography due to the short focal length. My dogs are out working at the moment but I’ll try this when I can. Typically I use the 50-140 or 100-400 and think both of those lenses perform well, so I would have expected the same from the 16-55. I will say, however, that I get better results with single-point than with zone - I loved zone on my Canon and wish it worked the same way on the Fuji, but in my hands results are not great. Try single-point when you get a chance - I don’t use a tiny focus box as it’s just too hard to keep it over a moving subject.

Also possible that that you have a wonky lens, I guess.
