My pony who is 19 has twice randomly come in from field sound and the next morning when i go up be really lame on her near side hind leg for no reason i can think of. The second time i had to have the vet up as she was in a lot of pain, the vet could find nothing wrong and the more she walked the better she got and after 30 mins you would never have known anything was wrong! The vet thought it was general degeneration (osteoarthritis) and that she had perhaps layed down for too long and got a dead leg. I am sure because of her age she will have some arthriris but i am not convinced about the dead leg situation. So anyway the vet said.... long term bute!!
