Answers:

Hmmmm---- strange test, where are questions 3,4,6 and 7? and I think some of the questions don't have a correct answer to them. Maybe its a trick!

1) Its easiest to determine which leg is causing a limp at a trot in most horses and its normally easiest to determine when they are lunged in a circle (often worse one direction than the other) and often most noticable on hard surfaces (depending on the cause, some are worse on deep footing)
