if you touch the injured place the horse will often flinch or try to move away. If his leg hurts he will often throw his head up when he steps on it, if its a front leg. the back legs are harder. you have to watch him and se if he appears to be favoring one of his legs. if the saddle is hurting him, he will often begin bucking, rearing, bolting for no apparent reason, esspecially when he canters. before getting mad at him, see if he's hurting.
