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!

It is characterized by a horse's reduced performance and mobility, often resulting from older age or neglect.

Signs of foundering can show up as soon as a few hours to a few days after a horse overeats grain. Common signs include lameness, heat in the hooves, reluctance to move, and standing in a "sawhorse" stance. It is important to seek immediate veterinary attention if you suspect your horse has foundered.
One way to tell is, obviously, if they are limping or showing signs of stress when they put weight on the leg. Another is if there is heat, swelling, or tenderness anywhere in the leg or hoof. Also, if a usually active horse is not moving, or only doing so reluctantly, it is a good idea to get a vet check.
