By 'limp' i presume you mean that the horse is lame. If this is so, it can come from a variety of sources. It could be something in the hoof itself, or something in relation to the leg. Well it depends on how the horse is limping, for instance: Is the horse putting any weight on the hoof? When you trot the horse away from you is i moving stiffly in the hindquarters? When you run your hands up and down the horses leg, does the horse show any signs of pain at certain spots? And you should always check the leg opposite the one tht horse is limping on to see if the constant pressure of having to bare both sides weight on it is effecting it otherwise you could end up with a horse lame on both accounts!
Get someone to walk then trot your horse around an area then you can really telll if your horse is limping. You can also pick up your horses feet and see if you straited all four legs ONE AT A TIME. Then see if your horse exibets any pain or nervouness. Feel legs to see if any unnormal lumps or bumps are felt.

Thrush is the infection of the frog of the horses hoof. You can normally tell, because when you go to pick their hooves, you smell something really strong and also you will probably see a black puss-like liquid. Thrush can occur when horse the horses hoof is trapped in moisture, for example, if your horse lives outside and stands in the mud all day, it most likely will get thrush. Hope that helps!! ~Makenna~
