"Canon" is the lower bone of the foreleg.
Soring is something that is done to show horses. It involves inflicting pain on them, on purpose, to exaggerate the leg movements on gaited horses. It is both unethical and illegal.
Though you can only see what is called the "hoof" at the end of each leg, horses, like all mammals, started out with five toes. The modern horse currently stands on "tip-toe" on the end of the toenail of the middle toe. The other 4 toes have become vestigial due to the process of evolution. The two outer toes are completely gone, but the other two can still be seen as the "chestnut" and "splint" higher on the leg.
It's the bone located between the knee and the fetlock (or ankle) on the horse's legs.
Splint boots are designed help to protect a horses legs during movement while doing different types of work or sports. The splint boot covers the horses leg from just below the knee to the ankle and will help to support the horses legs and help prevent sprains and strains from jumping, running, sliding, etc. They also protect from cuts and scrapes and help to protect the leg from blows from the other legs.
