My mare diagnosed with simple fracture of navicular bone in hindlimb. Not expected to recover for riding purposes. We were training at medium level dressage. Decided to try and rehabilitate her and did 4 months box rest and shod in a bar shoe. Gradually progressed to short turn out then got back on and hacked 3/4 times a week in walk for several months. Currently now living out and ridden every day. Recently returned to training again as she has been sound for quite a while. Wanted to know if anyone else has dealt with this injury. Thanks.
