Navicular

[Equiihorse]

Hi there.

I've recently gotten a share horse who has navicular and I'm hoping I can get some more information on it in the simplest terms if possible?

Thanks in advance!

Short pottery stride

Moves better some days more than others. (as for contracted heels)

Caused by: Bone layed down, either on more bone or on cartilage.

simplest
Navicular : Natural Remedies

Comfrey and Willow can prove very useful in relief of symptoms early on.
Great success has been achieved in treating this disease in a holistic approach.

They can lead a long life till they are 30+ depends what you want to do and how bad it is.

Not caused by bone problems at all in the overwhelming majority of cases. On MRI, shown in almost all cases to be strain of one or more of the ddft, the collateral ligaments our the impar ligament.

About 20% can be resolved with conventional treatments. About 80% can be resolved with a barefoot rehab. See here rockleyfarm.blogspot.com
