Its when their cannon bone splits a little, and it is a small piece of bone sticking out. For a while it will cause them discomfort and it will be kind of squishy if you touch it, and the best way to ease the pain is to put splint boots on them when you ride or turn them out. After a while the splint will turn back to bone, and it wont hurt them anymore. But there will be a permanent bump from it. The bump wont do much, you will just get a couple points off in conformation classes.
