[RC] Navicular disease - Ridecamp Guest

Please Reply to: Cyndi Rach hoovinit@xxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
==========================================

 If your mare is shod, I hope you'll look into alternative methods besides 
special shoeing; usually with "navicular" type symptoms there is contraction in 
the heel area, generally caused by shoeing and/or improper trimming, also the 
heels are usually under run.  A great website to research and get educated 
about hooves is www.thehorseshoof.com  which also has links to other great 
sites too. There is a lot of controversy about barefoot vs shod I know, but 
each of us needs to research and do what we think is best for our own 
situation.  Best of luck to you with your mare.
