Resting hind leg

[vicky1221]

My horse always rests one back leg, I've never seen him resting the other one. Is this a sign of lameness or just habit. Thanks

Does he limp at all? Is there any heat or swelling in his leg? If not, then most likely its just a habit.

If its always the same leg & he does it all the time I'd keep an eye on it for any changes. Is he ever stiff or anything?

Hi thanks for the replies. He only does it at night when resting in his stable. No lameness, heat, etc. that I can see.

When ridden he never rests it.
