Horse that has shaking front feet

[Horse_Converted]

Hi. where rainbow is kept. His name is labito. he is about five or six years old. when we feed them and he bend down to get his food out of his container. he starts shaking his front feet really bad more the right front one then the other but they both do it. What could this be?

I am a little worryed about it

Do you mean he wobbles at the knees and fetlocks? If his conformation is over at the knees he may find it difficult to keep his legs straight when his neck stretches foward and down and places weight on his front legs. Also, if he has DJD in his knees, or a bone chip, it may prevent him straightening through the knee for the same reason.

It is hard since he doesn't belong to the people that own the land but people down the road. and they don't even come and see them. or even pay anything for them

they want them off the property since they have two there. i would love to take him with me since he is such a smoocher and a cutie lol. his legs seem to b straight when he does it i was watching him today too

He is not pawing at the feedbin while he is eating? Some do that because of habit or excitement for getting the food.

No he doesn't move his feet at all. his legs just seem to shake. The owners might be thinking of getting rid of him and i am thinking of taking him. i think he has a great future in the care of someone that wants him
