: Hi there. I've been looking this up on the internet all day but haven't found anything useful. My horse clicks when he walks, trots, canters anything. It is is only in his back legs and it is coming from either his hock or fetlock joint. I was just wondering what the cause of this could be? I was thinking it could be arthritis, but is it severe enough to go to the vet and get it seriously checked out? It doesn't bother him, he's never come up lame, all it does is click!
: thanks
the same thing used to happen to my horse, in his case, the tendon in the back legs that allows to lock their legs while sleeping catches when he trotted. now that he is in better condition, the problem has dissapeared. just an idea, I am not a farrier, just a horse owner with a similar problem.
