A type of minor haematoma caused by blunt trauma. The trauma leads to damage of small blood vessels which leads to blood seeping into surrounding tissue. In the acute period they are a source of pain and can cause a reddish discolouration of surrounding tissue. In bruising of the hoof, the pain may lead to lameness and the bleeding may discolour the horn.
