Proud Citizen - swelling on the R. front "ankle" - distal end of the canon bone (metacarpal 3) at the fetlock joint - where the canon joins the "pastern" (first phalanx). There are two small sesmoids that sit in the back of this joint and could be he fractured one. It's a pretty typical injury and usually repaired surgically - while it could end his racing career, it isn't life threatening. Remember,that's assuming a lot - we only know that he's got a slight swelling there and an uneven gate.
