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!
