When to reach for it
navicular-region comfort, caudal heel soreness, alongside veterinary and farriery care
About this program
The back third of the front foot is a crowded, hard-working place: navicular bone, its bursa, the deep flexor tendon rolling over both. Soreness there makes a horse land toe-first and shuffle on hard ground — the classic caudal heel picture.
Consider this program when:
- the vet has localised soreness to the navicular region
- remedial farriery is reshaping how the heels load
- a diagnosed case needs comfort through a working season
- the long management road of a chronic caudal-heel case
Always the junior partner to diagnosis and farriery — the trim and shoe decide this joint's future.
