Well what you do would likely depend on why the stifle is clicking. It could just be air in the joint, or the ligament popping with each step. If it is the ligament getting caught on the joint, your equine veterinarian may do radio-graphs to determine how bad it is and if the stifle begins to catch or lock they may need to sever the ligament. However in most cases there is nothing to be done. It should be noted though that most horses with a clicking sound in any joint is likely to develop Arthritis fairly early in life or relatively quickly after you notice the clicking sound. You may want to ask your vet about a joint supplement or some other way to keep the horse comfortable if this does occur.
