Hi my name is Christina and I have a 15.2 black mare, and last season when I did eventing on her I pushed her to hard and she came up lame. WE took her to the vet and he said that it was in the navicular bone.I read through all the books and all the symtoms were the same. She is pointimg her hoof and looks in pain. We took her to the farrier and he took of her shoes and trimmed them right back. It has been past a month now and all my friends don't think its navicular diease but I not sure. And after a while she doesn't limp but the sightest walking sets it off again. And she is the most amazing horse and I don't want to to be ruined. So if you have any adive please write THANKS
