[RC] popping hocks - Marlene Moss

One of my boarders just got a new horse.  She’s 7 years old and pretty well conformed.  She’s done show and a couple 25 milers and been somewhat idle but living on pasture for several months.  She’s been making some popping noises in her hocks that has her owner a little concerned.  I think she shouldn’t worry about it unless she sees some other worrisome behavior.  I don’t like adding joint supplements just for the heck of it for a young horse that hasn’t been ridden too hard.  But if that would be smart, then we’d want to consider it.  She is planning on regular 50’s when they’re both in shape and potentially 100’s.

 

Any advice?  She didn’t do a pre-purchase exam, so we don’t have any vet info on her at this point.

 

Thanks,

Marlene
