Locking of the hind leg is achieved through upward fixation of the patella. In normal horse this locking mechanism allows a horse to sleep while standing. When the patella locks while the horse is in motion the delay in the ability to move the limb for milliseconds, minutes or to the point where the horse requires help unlocking the joint.
There are several possible causes of this condition and the best course of treatment has to be determined by a knowledgeable person who can directly assess the horse.
