Ridecamp: [RC] Question: weird clicking noise from horse

Rae tallcarabians@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
  Ok, I'm posting as a guest because the email I subscribe to is at home and I'm at work, but this question is starting bug me.  Last evening, I took my mare, Scarlet, out on a run (med/fast trot) with some friends.  She was going good and keeping a steady pace, but I started to realize that something just wasn't right.  For one, she kept breaking into a canter and this is a mare that just hates to canter.  Her trot started to feel a little wobbly, too.  So, I cut the ride short and took her home.  She was not acting like she was tying up (that has happened once when she lived in a show barn).  She had a very faint tremble in her neck.  No heat in her legs or hooves and her attitude was fine - cleaned up dinner with no hesitation.  The main thing going on was that she just wasn't moving freely and when I did get her to move, every movement would be accompianed with a series of clicking noises.  It was kinda like when you crack your knuckles.    Anyone have any experience or suggestions as to what I should be looking for here?  She was fine this morning.  No stiffness or clicking.

Thanks
