Is there something wrong with his foot/leg?

[Tiarella]

When I pick up Dougs left back foot to pick it out it sometimes cracks, you can feel it crack, its loud and doesnt sound to nice

Its usually only when he has been in his stable. His back right foot has occasionally started to crack now, but not as bad as the left. He is never lame or stiff etc. Is it anything to worry about?

Sounds like his joints are popping, a bit like when we click our necks or fingers etc. my physio says its just fluid movement

 

[merlinsquest]

Could either be ligaments snapping into place or fluid being dispersed round the joints.... either way, nothing to worry about.... nothing to do with arthritic changes etc

Phew thats okay then. Thank you both

Dont think i'd like a 4 year old arthritic pony
