Navicular Hope

[TheCurlyPony]

My boy was diagnoised with Navicular 13 weeks ago. Yesterday I was told he was 100% sound.

There is hope, not every case is a death sentence. However I appreciate not everycase is problem free either. I decided to take his shoes off, (my vet was very encouraging) change to a very strict low sugar diet, much to my boys annoyance.

I did a lot of research, got support from friends ,here and the uknhcp forum, and in the meantime turned into a hoof nerd.

So if you get a Navicular diagnosis dont despair there really is hope....

A french professor did a study on horses that suffered from navicular and found that a significant number of them changed their gate to accomodate the condition.
