[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 443411, member: 539"] Since you state the horse has Navicular Disease, I'm assuming you've already been to the vet and that the horse is lame/unridable. Is this true Navicular Disease (if so, I would probably simply put the horse down), or is the Navicular bone rotating due to foundering? How far has it rotated? Have you talked to a good farrier, as well? What you do with them depends on the stage of disease, cause of disease, what (if any) options are available to offset the disease, whether you're willing/are able to pursue those options, and whether you're able to continue absorbing the cost of feeding the horse while it is 'recovering'. To the best of my knowledge - true Navicular Disease has no cure, so you are probably postponing the inevitable. If this is a case of founder, depending on how bad it was, there is a possibility of pulling the horse out of it - that would be up to your farrier and vet. [/QUOTE]
