JMS Miniatures it sounds like she is talking about her horse's HOCK(S) popping - not stifle. Mshasta88 has given you some good advice; I have actually known of several horses that have had popping hocks. I know one personally and remember they seemed to out grow it, but have always felt a regular trim and exercise was important. I believe it is related to the ligament not supporting the hock joint effectively due to being a little weak or stretched. If it were my horse, I wouldn't think it is anything urgent to have a vet look at immediately, but at-least look at the next time he is out.
This is JMHO, and I do wish you the best of luck with your boy. Sounds like you love him very much!
