    Over reach boots for dustbin lid size feet

    These worked really well for my friend’s horse that used to play hard and rip his shoes off on an almost daily basis (before she discovered these) http://www.shoesecure.com/TheSolution.aspx

    4cyte Epilatis Gel - joint supplement

    It’s made a big difference to my Warmblood Gelding with mild djd in his hocks, navicular issues in his right fore and associated stiffness through compensation. He’s been on it since mid September and is much more supple all over and flexible in his hocks.

    Navicular bursa problems high heel shoes or not

    Mine was diagnosed by MRI with navicular bursitis (plus navicular bone deterioration, collateral ligament damage and torn DDFT) in his right fore in October 2016.

    Ddft injury options - Surgery/Rockley/Field?

    I’m having similar issues with it on Safari so sounds like it’s a forum glitch rather than browser issue

    Lunging

    I’ve been rehabbing my Warmblood following navicular and torn DDFT issues in his right fore. Groundwork in hand including straightness exercises have been a huge help in setting up to maintain soundness. I also work him on a lunge line using Manolo Mendez’s methods to allow him to find...

    Navicular syndrome

    I did 2 rounds of Osphos with my navicular horse, discontinued because it didn’t seem to be helping massively Took shoes off 6 weeks after diagnosis and haven’t looked back. It’s been 2 years now and horse is sound and moves beautifully. There are now opinions that Osphos & Tildren are...
