One of my horses has gone lame and i was just wondering she is pretty sound in walk and canter but pretty lame in trot, she is on box rest and the vet is coming out but do you think that the lameness is more likely to come from her tendon or her hoof ??
 
If she's lame on a front leg, the statistics say that 80% of front leg lameness is in the foot. But as Nailed says, on that sketchy information the lameness could be due to absolutely anything!
 
Well she has windgalls but i think her lower bit of the tendon is slightly swollen and have been putting muscle embrocation on it 3 times a day and no differnence as there usually is this. There is no bruising puncture holes in the foot. Sorry i forgot to add this and i dont know how to edit the post :S
 
If the tendon is swollen i am inclined to think this is causing the lameness. You need to have the vet out as no one on here can diagnose lamness over the internet and only vets can diagnose lamness in any case. good luck and i hope its nothing serious
