An owner has asked me to put Slypner Horseshoes on a horse with navicular. Is this a good idea?
Yes. Slypner Athletic Horseshoes are good preventive health maintenance shoeing the horse with Slypners protects the horse from further injuries caused by impact. Many riders and trainers can confirm that Slypners have enabled “sore” horses to resume their careers. Because Slypners dramatically reduce impact shock, it allows a tender joint or an inflamed tendon to heal without the added insult of reverberating hoof strikes that aggravate an already painful situation.
