Hi Janet, it sounds like a locking stifle. Put down lots of poles for him to step over, and place them in areas he has to pass through. He needs to strengthen his leg and he needs all the exercise he can get. Lots of ditch walking (up and down) helps too. Solon had this as a yearling and we did a lot of walking to help him strengthen his leg. They eventually grow out of it. It's too bad you don't have a gelding for him to wrestle with. Our boys are relentless when it comes to wrestling, so poor Solon had no choice but to join in. Look up locking stifle on the internet and you'll find a ton of info. Good luck with him. Wanda
