The big fella has previously been on Glucosomine to help with his joints, had been on it for years. Can suffer from a little stiffness. Decided to have a change and changed him to NAF Devils relief begining of August. Since being on it he seems more clicky behind ?

Was I stupid to take him off something that worked or is the clicking just a coinsidence (sp?)

Is clicking ok ? he is not lame, happy to hack in all paces.
 
I have no idea but my horse click and clunks behind! I swear he is actually semilocking his stifles but he has been like this as long as I remember and I have had him 16 years and he does not suffer any joint problems and has nothing physically wrong with him as far as i am aware as he has had regular physio visits for several years (just matter of course really). i don't think it's anything to be particularly worried about. i think quite a few horses seem to be 'clicky' - assume it is just gas in the joints, the same as with humans.
 
some say its just loose ligaments ...... Bonney has clicked for the 8 years we have had her and we have her on msm / glucosamine. She still clicks but overall she is still very flexible for her age (20). She does have a little stiffness if out of work for any reason but if she is exercised regularily she is fine.
