LOL yes i have.  many years ago i had a gelding who sounded like that with 
every step.  being the worry wart that i am when it comes to my horses i had 
the vet come out and check.  he said it was nothing.  THAT wasn't good 
enough i had to haul him to auburn U.  vet comes out and we work the horse. 
"it's nothing" he says.  "it'll go away".  guess what?  a week later it was 
gone!
still don't know what or why but it was gone and the horse was sound for all 
of his days.

Man does not have the only memory,
The animals remember,
The earth remembers,
The stones remember,
If you know how to listen, they will tell you many things.
