Projection behind and above a horse's hoof (7)

I believe the answer is:

fetlock

(Other definitions for fetlock that I've seen before include "Part of a charger" , "Part of horse's leg above and behind hoof" , "Projection above a horse's hoof" , "beastly joint" , "Hair above horse's hoof" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times and The Guardian.
