Do you worry as much if your horse has a big hind leg rather than a front one?

Depends why and when tbh. If it's prone to filling a little bit over night stood in, then no...I just make sure it's either bandaged if needs be and then stretched out in the morning.
Swelling in front legs would make me worry about lymphg or tendon injuries or similar, but only as I'm now very much paranoid about it.
My boy got a touch of cellulitis over winter and is now still prone to his near hind filling up if he's stood in for an amount of time. It doesn't worry me too much as vet has seen it and knows about it and it causes no lameness and goes as soon as he's been ridden or been turned out.
Just depends why and how it's swelling really!
