My 5 year-old nutcase, I mean, endurance prospect Leo has a one-inch  
hard, round lump halfway up on his cannon bone.  He didn't have it a  
few months ago.  It is painless apparently--he doesn't react to  
pressure there at any rate.  Is this a common no-big-deal occurrence  
or something I should be checking into further?  I've heard of  
splints but don't understand what they are exactly.  This lump is  
part of or on the bone.  It's toward the front of his leg and is not  
near any moving parts.

To complicate matters I keep imagining that he's off a bit, but then,  
when I lunge him, he seems steady.  He has such crazy extravagant  
movement at liberty (very limber and English Pleasure like) that I  
can't tell if he's off or if I'm just reading him wrong.

Thoughts?
