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.
A lame duck horse is one that has difficulty moving due to pain or injury in its legs or feet. This term is typically used to describe a horse that is experiencing lameness and may require medical attention or rest to heal.

If your horse comes up lame the best thing to do is to place it in a stall where it can't move around very much and call your equine vet to come take a look. What might appear 'simple' could really be just the beginning of a very serious problem. Most vets will also tell you to ice the leg or cold hose it until they get there.
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.
A smoother ride because they can absorb shock better. However, too long and it will be hard on the horse to do anything strenous and the chances of him going lame are higher.
