What is Navicular?
Navicular disease is caused from an imbalance inside the center of the hoof. Pressure is on the navicular bone and can obstruct the blood flow in the center of the foot. The navicular bone is a small bone that works as a valve to open and close a portion of the blood flow inside the hoof. On rare occasions, the navicular bone can become cracked or broken, but in most cases, navicular disease is from improper hoof form.
