Ridecamp: [RC] Navicular Horse

I have a horse that was diagnosed navicular about 3 months after purchase
(he passed a prevet exam, by the way).  I've had him about 10 years now.  I
couldn't sell him at the time, he was only 6, a big beautiful black appendix
quarter horse.  At that time, horses like Col were going for slaughter.  I
tried corrective shoeing, bute, MSM, Flex Free, isoxoprine, etc.  He has
never been totally sound, but was rideable on easy level terrain.

I finally quit all the gimmicks.  Recently, however, I was talked into
purchasing Finish Line.  It has really helped him.  He is more sound than
he's been in about 3 years, without any type of corrective shoes.  We're
going to try shoes this next time & start riding.  If you can get the other
problems cleared up, you might give this a try.  Believe me, I don't like
wasting money & a navicular horse can be a drain.  Good Luck.

Kathy & Col
