it sounds like just a sore foot
the tennis ball thing is just a shoeboil which is not a big deal
its caused by the hoof hitting the elbow when the horse is lying down
the best thing to do is give him time to heal and keep him comfortable
how long has it been since he fell?
mind you its natural for him to try to avoid putting weight on it
imagine if you had a big old cut on your foot you wouldnt want to walk either
one thing though make sure he doesnt favour the other legs too much you dont want them to get strained
so try bandaging to balance him out a bit if it becomes a problem
meanwhile you can get a shoeboil boot to help prevent further damage but you should probably ask your vet to drain that for him while its still new

cjoh212, you are so right about tons of ground work and then....more ground work.  Because of all this ground work, I think the person training the horse to drive also works hard!!! 
 
This is a photo of the first horse I trained to drive.  Now, don't laugh, it is an old photo taken at a Class A show sometime in 1970...

A driving horse is a joy once they have been trained properly.  start with tons of ground work. and when you think you are done, do it some more.   this prepares the horse for all of the things that you will ask of them while harnessed to a buggy or cart,  No horse works harder than a harness horse...good luck.....Wink]]> Tue, 06 May 2008 11:53:36 +0000 http://www.equestrianpages.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1392&PID=9705#9705 General Talk : Rash of Kentucky Horse Deaths Prompt PETA Protest http://www.equestrianpages.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1397&PID=9704#9704 Author: Picapepper

Subject: Another Death in Kentucky Equestrian Sports
Posted: May-04-2008 at 12:42am

The mood here in Kentucky is somber following three equestrian deaths during two high profile events. This has been an especially sad and terrible week in Kentucky equestrian sports. Two horses were killed at the Rolex Three Day Event last weekend. Today, the second place winner of the Kentucky Derby collapsed on the track after completeing the race. Having scratched the Oaks in order to be in the Kentucky Derby, Eight Belles, the only filly in this years race was put down after both of her front ankles were broken in her 5 length defeat to Big Brown.

The season in general has been plagued with deadly accidents.  Public reaction here in Lexington has been supportive but concerned.  It was not immediately clear what had happened to the fallen horse but typical post derby celebration was cut short and Churchhill Downs cleared quickly after word spread that Eight Belles was dead.  When Eight Belles collapsed on the track many thoughts returned to the Preakness when Babaro fractured an ankle. Sadly after having taken second place in the 134th Kentucky Derby, Eight Belles suffered a rare event in which both front ankles were injured forcing officials to euthanize the three year old immediately while she still lay on the track.
 
As with any sport there is risk.  It seems that for now, Kentucky is at the focus of concerns regarding safety in equestrian sports.  I invite discussion and words of support.
