My Peruvian mare clicks terribly and we think it's incipient
arthritis in her shoulder(s). It's hard to localize, but
doesn't seem to bother her much (she is the stoic sort, tho').
MY left knee clicks going down stairs but it doesn't hurt (yet);
the right knee, broken six years ago, doesn't click but
sometimes hurts. Go figure...

If the mare comes back to riding soundness (off with a rear
tendon injury 'til early '98), I will start her on Adequan
when we start back to riding. (I'd start her now but can't
afford it for a non-using horse, and my Arab will probably
need it in the near future.)

I'd try to localize the symptoms and then check that area for
arthritic problems.
