It is called a capped hock. A horse's hock is the same as a human ankle. Most likely if your horse has a large bump on the top of its hock, it has been injured in some way. On a horse that has not been injured there should be what appears as a small bump on the back of their hock, this is called the point of the hock. I would suggest consulting your vet about any bumps you find on the front of a horse's hock.
A horse with a hard lump on the top of its hock is said to have a capped hock. This condition can be caused by trauma, such as repeated hitting against a hard surface, leading to fluid accumulation and inflammation in the joint. Treatment may include rest, cold therapy, and anti-inflammatory medication.
My brother and I looked up hock on Dictionary.com, and it said that it was a joint in the ankle of a horse, or a type of wine.
Richard III himself actually said "A Horse! A Horse! MY Kingdom for a horse!"
The test questions were easy! "Easy does it!" the man said to his horse. Are the classes at this school easy or hard?
Get her to a vet immediately. It could be cancer... My friend had a dog, with the same thing: a lump on the shoulder. They said it was just a ball of muscle. Two years later, the dog had to be put down, because the lump was a massive tumor. So go to the vet, get your dog checked A.S.A.P.
I had this same problem a couple of weeks ago. The bump is still there today, but I went to the doctor for it. He said spineale swelling. At first, though, he said it could be Tietze Syndrome. You may want to get it looked at, but it shouldn't be a huge deal.

The phrase "A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse!" is famously uttered by Richard III in William Shakespeare's play, Richard III. It reflects Richard's desperation in battle, where he is willing to trade his kingdom for a horse to save his life.
