Hi
My horse has been in today due to the awful weather, so I popped him out into a tiny paddock to stretch his legs, he wandered about and I brought him back in 5/10 minutes later.
He wasn't lame and trotted back to the stable with me.
On grooming him I noticed his front right outside of his fetlock was slightly swollen, a tiny bit of heat but he has no pain reaction to it. I don't know if he had it before he was turned out but he didn't have it this morning.
Now I made a decision to leave it alone for the night as he would not be moving about much in the stable and see how it is in the morning, only now I am worrying about it.
What would you guys have done?
Please be assured if it is not better by the morning the Vet will be called.
