Member Posts: 21	I have a black gelding that is an all around horse he does every event! But now he is 13 or 14 and his legs are starting to pop when he walks.. Is that arthritis or what? And will magnetic boots help? Or will an ointment with wraps be better?

	Normal, nothing to worry about. I've had as many horses do as I have had horses that didn't do it.
