Anyone know what this pulse is? Should I be worried?

Horse is lame full lame workup fone, including xrays vet said navicular. Anyhow I am now taking his pulse regularly and there s one point on the inside front leg just above the fetlock that I find pounding, even visibly moving, however the digital pulse that you would normally take at the side below the fetlock s hardly detectable. Sometimes it is in both legs but mainly in the one that he is lame on. I told vet but he was not really interested :confused: Just to add it seems worse at the end of the day and hardly visible in the morning, So my question is is this a pulse to be concerned about and what s is, I have scoured the internet ref horse anatomy but nothng really conclusive? Could there be other issues (LGL?)
 
Could it be a digital pulse, but in a different place? I have been shown 3 places by 3 different people of where to take it!

I would think any bounding pulse would indicate some kind of inflammation, but I am no vet. x
