They are just different degrees of the same thing. Tenderness is 'a little touchy' and may have some swelling or puffiness. Lameness is beyond a little touchy, where the horse is obviously favoring a certain foot or leg. Lameness is usually more easily observed at the trot, and will help you locate the exact leg or hoof where the trouble is.
