Yes if you step into the stirrup with the wrong leg.

if you touch the injured place the horse will often flinch or try to move away. If his leg hurts he will often throw his head up when he steps on it, if its a front leg. the back legs are harder. you have to watch him and se if he appears to be favoring one of his legs. if the saddle is hurting him, he will often begin bucking, rearing, bolting for no apparent reason, esspecially when he canters. before getting mad at him, see if he's hurting.
The horse's inside leg will hit the ground last.
To determine if your horse is on the correct lead, observe the sequence of its footfalls. In a canter or gallop, the inside front leg and outside hind leg should move forward together. If this is not the case, your horse may be on the incorrect lead. Additionally, pay attention to your horse's balance and suppleness while riding.
To hit a horse with the leg is called "cueing" or "leg aids." Riders use their legs to communicate with the horse to ask for certain movements or actions, such as moving forward, turning, or stopping. This communication is an important part of riding and allows for effective and precise control of the horse.
It depends what is wrong with your horse. If it is something like a broken leg, or a lame horse it would probability be over 100 dollars. If there is something wrong with an animal then it needs to be taken care of so please do... even if it will cost you a wad of cash. :) - Megan (11)
If a horse has hurt his/her leg the horse will be called lame till the leg has healed . If the horses leg is very badly hurt it may have to be put down (die) . But if it is just a minor injury you should keep the horse in his/her stable he/she stops limping.

To motivate a horse to canter, it is important to establish a clear and consistent cue system through proper training. Begin with building a solid foundation in walk and trot, and gradually introduce the cue for cantering. Use a combination of verbal cues, body position, and light leg pressure to communicate the desired movement to the horse. Remember to be patient and rewarding to encourage the horse's confidence in transitioning to the canter.
