brushing
I believe it means to keep your calf against the horses side and to make sure you have contact the whole time with your legs However "to leg on your horse" or "to give your horse leg" is to kick it onwards, often to move into a different gait or keep your horse active and moving
The markings on a horse, on its head or legs, don't *mean* anything, anymore than the stripes on a zebra or the color of your hair.
Soundness in horses means that the horse does not hav any leg problems. If a horse is limping one would say the horse is unsound.
Forging means that the horse is hitting the front leg with the hind leg on the same side. You'll here a metallic clinking sound as the shoes hit each other if the horse is shod. If the horse is barefoot you may here a dull thunking sound.
If a horse has hurt his/her leg the horse will be called lame till the leg has healed . If the horses leg is very badly hurt it may have to be put down (die) . But if it is just a minor injury you should keep the horse in his/her stable he/she stops limping.
That's the theory, but there doesn't seem to be any truth in it.
One leg on each side of the horse is called straddling the horse or the straddle!
