If you have any back on track leg boots I would try that also. Seems to help my uncles horse from swelling up on trailer rides

You can also put clay on it- that draws down swelling from when our horses have to be kept in stalls for a while.

Not entirely for sure but I might have a lead on what it is, won't know until we finally get a vet to see him. He does have a old scabbed wound on his ankle, which isn't big at all. Hoping its nothing serious.

I was going to say this. My POA injured herself about when I was 8, near the same area. It was pretty gnarly, we would wrap it and clean it until it had healed enough to quit wrapping. SEVERAL years later her leg was still kinda swollen and there was a large scar and even some scabbing. Didnt bother her one bit and never had any issues, and as far as i know to this day she hasnt had any issues either. I sold her about 6 years ago.. She hurt herself probably 15? years ago

My old OTTB had some what of the same problem. When we purchased him he had a swollen back hind (I believe it was the right hind but idk it was a while ago) but we had the vet come out and she did some tests and said he was fine. I rode him in jumpers and did some eventing with him and he was wonderful! It didnÂ’t heat up at all but after a while when we started to go higher In our jumping he did have to have hock injections. He was a bit fussy sometimes with lifting that leg but other than him being a drama queen he was fine. I showed him up to 3Â’6 and schooled about 1.10m-1.30m. He never limped or showed signs of pain with the swollen leg. It was just there but didnÂ’t affect him.

Grr, we can guess all we want & everything but I really hope I can get a vet out here to confirm whatever it is! Thank you guys.

It can happen when horses are standing around for long periods of time. Lunge him and the fluid will disperse.

Lunge,lead, go for a jog and drag him, pony, et cetera to get the swelling down.

I am no vet, but it could be an abbses. Is there any puss or anything?

There is no puss.. When he gets to moving around it gets significantly better I've noticed. Still nothing from the vet ):

Hopefully you can get a vet out, he may need antibiotics or something. I'd rule out stocking up as both legs would generally be swollen. But it looks more like Cellulitis as previously posted. Legs do *not* get much blood supply, or at least enough to promote quick healing, the sooner you can get the vet out the better. Sending good vibes.
