In 2014, my horse Vinnie was diagnosed with “navicular disease.” This sent me on a wild goose chase of finding out how to help him, it sparked my passion for navicular, and allowed me to see that in many cases, soundness is possible and this “disease” doesn’t have to be “degenerative.”
Celebrating 10 years of owning Vinnie (this month!), I decided to upload a “throwback episode” of my story with Vinnie. Nine years ago I would have thought he would have to be put down.. we couldn’t even get his pasture sound. Today, he is happily living out his days on my track, with no maintenance and buddies to canter and play around with.
