Oh, dear.  Did that go on anyway, with all the rain?  I assumed it was
going to be called off!

Problem (as is usual when someone isn't completely familiar with
armory; better in such cases to describe it in plain English).  Is it
a jambe on a bend?  If so, the blazon says the jambe and the bend are
the same tincture, so the leg would disappear (and the badge would be
returned).  Is it a jambe bendwise in some way?

The categories start with "LEG AND FOOT-BEAST" in the internal coding.
However, the primary charge here is the bend couped, if there is a
bend at all.  (You can't have a plain bend on a fieldless badge:
there's no edge of the shield to end the ordinary.)  In such a case,
the leg is a tertiary and will at most contribute 1 CD.

A thingy on a bend couped is not any period style badge I've seen.
Does the client want just a lion's jambe in some orientation and
tincture?  That would be fine style, and they could display it on any
tincture they liked.
