what is a ?

Are you saving my sage pronouncement as 'wisdom for the ages' or 'guess what I read that some dope wrote'?

"Caudal heel pain" is an oxymoron (where else could heel pain be?). "Caudal Hoof Pain" OTOH............

A the term caudal heel is dully authorized by the department of redundancy department.

but we all still say "tuna fish"...

Wrong approach David. You should advertise that you specialize in "Shoeing with shoes that support the caudal heel area of the back of the hoof". You'll have to hire more help.

the former, of course!

what about an egg bar (Graduated or normal)

i have just put on a pair of straightbar shoes side clipped and a rolled toe , why some will ask ? because that is what the insurance company wanted .

what is your point Chris?

my point is John that certain folk are telling us that there is a particular shoe for "navicular ", i started the thread for others to post what there idea of both "navicular " and a navicular shoe is . everybody talks about them but up to now only Travis has come up with a positive reply to the original question

Well I have used egg bars for horses that have been said to have this problem
as I have said before I have had good results

so have I, what I am trying to point out through what i thought could be interesting debate is that there is no one single shoe that fits the "navicular " bill

All I can say Chriss I have tried raised heels but had better results with this type of job

to be honest i have found that any form of raised heels makes the problem worse

I have used those in an egg bar version on a dressage horse
