Arch has what Im pretty sure is a splint on his nearside foreleg. He's never been lame on it and theres never been any heat. It started off fairly small, but its got quite abit bigger over the last month. He's still fine on it and jumping well, sound etc, but it is bothering me abit. Any advise would be great. Im thinking its just a bit of extra bone growth and will stop soon!!
 
If its not caused him any trouble when forming it is unlikely to now.
It has probably got bigger due to the hard ground and will probably settle again as the ground gets softer.I would avoid doing too much on the hard but I would not worry about it unless he is sore.
