There are too many reasons as to what would make a horse limp to possibly answer here.
A limp could be caused by a poor hoof trimming - ie: too short, a foot ailment - ie: trush or laminitis, poor confirmation, an internal leg problem anywhere up the leg ie: sprains, pulls, fractures, from an object becoming embedded in the sole, or even from something as simple as a stone bruise.
You could fill many encyclopedias with a list of things that would make a horse limp. Any kind of pain makes a horse limp, just as with people. Simple examples could include a pulled muscle, an abcess in the hoof, Arthritis, a torn or pulled tendon or ligament, or a sore back. Horses limp because they might have broken a bone, or maybe a birth defect or disease. Another reason why a horse might limp is because of navicular. This is mostly in quarter horses or paint horses that have been trained in Western Pleasure at a young age but it can happen in any breed of horse. To learn more you could probably look it up.
This is probably due to an injury or infection in the horse's leg. You should not ride or exercise your horse and schedule a visit from a veterinarian to examine your horse. Sometimes the lameness from something as simple as a bruised sole (treatment is rest until it heals) and sometimes it is due to severe problems like a torn tendon or infected joint.
Check the hoof. Is it clean? No rocks in it, tears in the wall or any other painfull things?
Check the rest of the leg. Is it swollen en warm? Cool it down with cold water (not too cold) and call your vet.
Could be that your horse just strained a muscle, then it just needs some rest. If you're not sure, call you're vet. He or she will know what to do.
If you find the problem to be specifically in the hoof and you can't solve it yourself, call the smith to check it out.
Have the horse trot for you!
Trot. When a horse trots, its head stays level unless it has a limp in the front end. When the horse has a limp in the back end one of its hind quarters drops. If it is sound then they are level. When a horse is galloping it has a 'leading leg' - its two sides do not have the same movements so it is difficult to spot a limp.
The horse needs to walk.
At least walking.
Abscesses impede the horse's ability to walk normally. Abscesses are very painful, so horses will limp and will not run when they are in pain. However if the horse is given bute (a pain killer), the horse won't limp as much.
the answer is Limp it took a long time but it is Limp i had it for homework too
No; in fact, that could only worsen things exponentially. If a limp is not visible (even slightly) when the horse is walking, he's trotted in hand. It should show up then if it's there.
Dr. Deere's limp was caused by a hip injury he sustained while trying to save a child from a runaway horse.
I think you make it gallop, trot, or jump.
