Well..I believe your horse would be limping. When you think your horse is lame..call the vet IMEDIATLY!!! It could be something serious. Before you do call though, check his feet for any big or small rocks that could be hurting it. Even back injuries could make it limp. :( Just call the vet if you have any thought on whether or not your horse is lame. DO NOT RIDE THE HORSE!

In domestication horses need their hooves trimmed to keep them a proper shape to avoid lameness. In the wild horses 'trim' their own hooves by walking on rough ground which wears them down.

Horses can be scratched (removed) from a race for a number of reasons. These are some general reasons for a horse to be scratched as well the the indivdual (usually) responsible for each type Scratched by the veterinarian for illness, lameness etc. Scratched by the stewards for procedural issues or violations. They can also scratch horses before they enter the starting gate for perceived lameness. Scratched by the trainer for issues like the race was moved from the turf to the dirt. Trainers will also sometimes enter horses in multiple races to optimize their chance of getting into a race...if the horse gets into both races the trainer usually scratches the horse from one or the other.
