New concept in the navicular treatment

The crack is a secondary issue for the horse.His bigger problem is a navicular disease.

Brian. I sure wish that there were some rads and photos of that horse that were available for us to see.

Guess I am strange but the times I have dealth with a crack that bad, I undercut and relieved all pressure to the area of the crack itself. I might have pulled a clip at the heels for 4 weeks to see how it supported but didnt make the crack worse?.. I am lucky that I dont see alot of quarter cracks like that anymore..

As mentioned before here and to Patrick in '07(?); "Qrt cracks are related to navicular issues." It's a theory in my narrow little mind after seeing rads and assiociated cracks........impact and load GFRs are the culprits IMO.....

Good news.The owner send me this picture.The crack looks sound and the horse haven't pain.The next week the vet will take rads for get a exact diagnostic about his navicular problem.

Today I shod the horse again,eight weeks later. In the next week,the vet will take rads for to value the navicular disease.The horse is not pain.We have a good hope for it.
