    Mild swelling on leg that goes down with work?

When we were finally able to catch him, the only injury he had was a cut on his left hind, on the fetlock. It wasn't deep, but it was big. About 2 inches in diameter. We...

    My horse has a weird lameness. He is about 1-2/5 lame for the first two or three steps of trot going right. Then it almost completely goes away, down to about a 0.5-1/5. He seems hesitant to pick up the trot going right. To the left he is fine, completely sound. My horse is a TB and has...
