Clicking back legs

[itsmyparty]

My horse (arab x) is eight years old and his hind legs (hocks I think) have just started making a clicking noise in walk and trot. Should I worry ? He's already on Superflex as a general joint supplement.

Lance is very clicky, his is artritis, but he is almost 19.

I think horses can get clicky at various ages though, is he stiff at all?

Not stiff, generally quite bouncy and energetic on hacks, (although lazy and very laid back in the school. Don't think he can see the point !). Plays around like a 2 yr old in the field.

My 6 year old always had clicky jints and passed the vet ok with this. I might be more worried if it had just started.

Our stallion does it and when he was vetted earlier this year the vet said ignore it, some horses just do it!
