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?

I think that's normal, just like my legs snap, crackle and pop as I get older

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

Just had a horse xrayed and injected.. while there I asked about his stifles popping. The vet said it was his ligaments, not his bones and I should nt worry about it.. Just sharing what I found:)

I would feed a joint supplement, like flex free, or Bio hesper C/K. some of that popping will go away.
