A lot of things, how long has it been in this condition? Does bute or banamine help (or any pain reliever)? Has the farrier looked at the horse? Is there heat anywhere in the leg? Any swelling?

A friends horse was found walking/dragging his toe too. The horse was never lame or sore to the touch either. After much investagation they found it was the distal digital annular ligament. After a lot of stal rest the horse was back!
