I'v been shoeing a Horse which may have Navicular but the owner can not afford Radiographs right now.I'v been shoeing the horse with eggbar shoes with wedge pads in the front but his feet never really grow any wall or sole so there's nothing to do but rasp.He is on and off Biotine but it seems to help very little if any!.So my question is does Navicular cause very slow hoof growth? and if so what could help him? he is only lame when he has no shoe or wedge support.
