Pain when turning

This is the phrase.


Jack is a horse!!


Farrier trimmed him and 2 days later Jack was off again, especially in the right front. Vet recommended trying glue on shoes (thought horse may have thin sole). Jack has done okay for the time since then (last 6 months), but does show pain *when turning in small circles* in the right front.

discomfort upon bending

It could be the test where the vet stands at the horse's side half-way along the horse's back & offers the horse a treat and sees if the horse can turn his head & take it without a problem & then does the same on the other side. If you google "pre-purchase vetting of horse" you'll find several desriptions of the test so that you could place your list along side & see from the context which description fits.
