What is spring hock in horses?
It's where a tendon in the horses hock tightens ( pulling the leg up involuntary). It's not painful for the horse it's just complicated and can cause the horse to trip more easily. It's mostly caused from horses eating a lump some of dandelions. It is curable by exercising the horse by walking/ jogging up and down hills to really stretch that leg out. Or a horse can go through surgery to have that tendon removed.

A horse with a hard lump on the top of its hock is said to have a hock?
It is called a capped hock. A horse's hock is the same as a human ankle. Most likely if your horse has a large bump on the top of its hock, it has been injured in some way. On a horse that has not been injured there should be what appears as a small bump on the back of their hock, this is called the point of the hock. I would suggest consulting your vet about any bumps you find on the front of a horse's hock.
What is the difference between thoroughpin and bog spavin?
Thoroughpin and bog spavin look quite similar, because they are both a swelling in the hock area. The joint of the hock contains pockets of fluid (called synovial fluid) to help the bones move across one another. The pockets can become over-full with synovial fluid, and make the pockets poke out and make the hock look puffy. This is bog spavin, or serous tarsitis. Although bog spavin doesn't hurt the horse, it can make them more prone to arthritis later in life. A tendon runs down the back of a horse's leg called the deep digital flexor tendon. At the level of the hock, it's surrounded by a sheath (the tarsal sheath) that's also filled with synovial fluid, so the tendon can glide over the bones of the hock. If the area is damaged, the sheath can become inflamed and filled with extra synovial fluid. It looks like to puffy pockets on the inside and outside of the horse's leg, just above the hock. It's called thoroughpin, or tenosynovitis.
