>>> IMHO navicular is almost entirely a manmade/shoe caused condition.
I have no personal experience with navicular, so I'm not sure about that, but there's no point in playing the blame game right off the bat. A friend of mine has a navicular horse that she adores, and has spent a fortune trying to make comfortable. This mare is her heart and soul. Like a lot of owners, she bought the mare as a mature, trained riding horse - with past baggage - so it's certainly nothing SHE did to the horse. After damage is done, no matter what the cause, we have to do what we can. Karen Karen Thomas Wingate, NC No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
