Horses can injure a joint easily !! Sometimes they run and step wrong and it can swell a little and run fever in the joint !! Its not unusual for something like that to happen !! Try some warm soaks for a few days with epsom salts 2X daily and then apply a linament or use just plain old alcohol and rub it down !! The green alcohol works better than the clear !! If she got out she could have just twisted it or stepped in a hole !! If she runs a lot she could have overstepped !! No telling what could have happened !! Talk to the vet if not better in a week or so !!
