After nerve-blocks and x-rays the vet has discovered significant damage to my 4 year olds navicular bones in both front feet. She commented that it was the sort of wear and tear she expected to see in a teenage/20 something horse. He's off to have an MRI to check for colateral ligament damage, and in the meantime I am trying not to cry, because it looks like his ridden career may well be over (before it's really even begun)
Just wondering if anyone else has experience of navicular in such a young horse? Or even in older ones? How do you manage it? And how much has it limited what your horse can do?
