Rae:
I have heard many explanations for the clicking noises
coming from various joints
and which is often described as you describe
it.
I have asked this question to vets for years, and
the most often answer
is the following (any vets reading this can chime in with
their opinion):
i.e it's coming from the synovial
fluid in the joint, and is gas (nitrogen I think) build-up
releasing . It comes and goes, and usually is gone by the time the horse is
warned up and will not (necessarily) indicate any problems.
I say.. why the heck does THAT occur... no answer forthcoming
from any of them..
This occurs with my knees, and * I've* never had a problem
with them :).
