Stocking up is when the lower legs(normally the hind, but also the front in some instances) Swell with fluid because of lack of motion. It normally happens when horses are stalled for long periods of time.
Stocking up is cool swelling in a horse's legs. It is most often seen in the back legs, but can occur in the front legs as well, and even in one leg at a time. It is common in horses that are used to moving around but are confined. For example, a horse who is normally in pasture but is put in a stall may have some stocking up in his legs. It generally doesn't cause problems and after moving freely, either under saddle or in pasture, for anywhere from 10-20 minutes, the swelling will do down.
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.
It means you are scared of horses.

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.

There is no purpose to a coronet band. It is a marking on a horses leg on the very bottom by the fetlock. It is just another marking on a horse just like a star, blaze, face mask, sock, or stocking.
A horses leg is called a leg, but it has several names for different areas of the leg like cannon, hock and gaskin.
