How common is this? Horse was off in the front (off and on, not consistent) and flexed sore on the opposite hind leg and vet said to take care of the hind leg and the front end stuff will probably go away.

My horse has some RF coffin joint arthritis. I can always tell when his hocks need to be done cause he goes sore in the front. As soon as hocks are done he goes sound in the front. Lol
