HELP!!!! My dog lost control of his hind legs today

My 6yr old Australian shepherd Loki and i were out for a standard mountain bike ride. It is something we do a few times a week and during one of our water breaks he seemed to have lost control of his hind legs. He was still walking and was not in any pain but he was stumbling around - the best way i can describe it is he seemed to have a no feeling in his legs similar to the way i would if my foot had fallen asleep. We ended the ride at that point and i got him to slowly walk with me which he did without hesitation or complaint. He was not in pain and his attitude did not change, he was still excited to be out for a ride. The strangest thing is he was totally back to normal within 5 or 10 minutes of the onset of his symptoms and hasnt shown any signs since then (appox 4hrs since the incident).

He was fine while running but after getting a drink and laying down for a few minutes the symptoms started. Im just wonderig if anyone has any idea what could have caused this! Im worried about my little guy!

Thanks
Matt
