TPO, quite a brave post, but one which is heartwarming. Lightbulb moments can sometimes be hard to deal with, I know.
Currently, three separate people who live close to me are going through the pain of a navicular diagnosis. There is only one equine practice in the area, they have prescribed bar shoes and all the usual traditional remedies. They have advised that the prognosis isn't good and the owners should prepare to make the decision.
We have given lots of information and where to get more on barefoot, Rockley Farm, Jamie Jackson, Pete Ramey and Tomas Teskey amongst others.
Unfortunately, these horses will, I feel, end up being shot. The owners look upon barefoot akin to black magic and are sceptical of anything that doesn't come from their specialist equine vets.
