If it is not to cold outside water your horses legs down with cool water to reduce swelling. Mean while, have somebody call your vet and describe the symptoms to him/her. If your vet cant get to your horse for a while, or you are unable to get to your vet, keep your horse in a stall. With permission form your vet, every few hours, walk your horse around for a bit to allow circulation in the legs.
