I contacted my vet and he recommended he wear soft ride or easy boot cloud type boots when trailering and when stalled. Thermal Imaging of his feel revealed white hot heat in his heels. This fall, at the last race of the season, he came up lame after the first day there. I dont stall at home so this is just when we are on the road. Whenever he is stalled he lies down almost the entire time other than when he is eating. He has been much better since the diagnosis however we competed hard this year. I have been feeding him Equibone by TLC since we got the diagnosis and we have also changed his feet. Vet said he wouldn't call it full blown navicular but he does have changes to the navicular bones and pin holes in the bones. My daughters horse was diagnosed with minor navicular a year ago at the age of 9.
