Location: In The Snow, AZ | My new gelding that we got off the kill lot finally showed up yesterday. Long story with the hauler, but he was well cared for. I lunged him today, and then booted him for the video. I should’ve gotten video without them, but will tomorrow, as the boots helped him. He is barefoot. Was hauled to the auction three weeks ago and had shoes pulled about three months ago. His feet seem squishy in the heels. He’s ouchie for sure. We were told by previous owner that he is possibly navicular. Just looking for opinions on what y’all see. Also, he came without a name... so name ideas are welcome ;)

Location: In The Snow, AZ | Thank you everyone. He really is a character. Liking his demeanor a lot. I am having my farrier come put some eyes and hands on him after Thanksgiving. If fixing his feet don’t seem to help, then I will haul him up to the vet and start looking further in. |

Location: In The Snow, AZ | I’m gonna be honest with y’all and put our situation on here, and hopefully it will explain why I can’t go straight to a vet... my husband has been our families sole provider for over 9 years. I was blessed to be a stay at home mom to our daughter, which turned into being a homemaker when she started school. I have been beyond blessed and basically was able to do anything my heart desired.
We found out a few months ago that the store my husband contracted with was closing down. His last day with said company was last Friday. He has scoured for, applied with, and never heard back from so many similar positions that could keep our lifestyle the same. Unfortunately, good paying jobs like he had are few and far between in our location. So, while he has been hired on with a very good company here, his bring home will be less than a quarter (he made REALLY good money) of what he made before.
In saying that, I have gone back to work, cleaning houses. And while it’s not a highly viewed “career”, it pays well, I’m just working on continuing to build clientele.
With all that said, this gelding was a last gift from the man who has my heart, before his job came to an end. We didn’t plan on him having lameness problems, not that that’s an excuse. But we really need to get settled in our new financial state before I can go spending $600+ to have r xays done. I know the cheapest route isn’t always the best, but I’m trying to do what I can with what I have.
I hope you all can understand where I’m coming from, it’s absolutely not because I don’t want to help him. |

| Don't worry about what anyone thinks. We don't all run to the vet the first thing. There are many things that can help a horse like him. People jump on the navicular band wagon way too fast. The best thing I have EVER had done with horses that move like him is really good breakover and heel support, brought by a good farrier. And I have had two "navicular" horses fixed by a plain rim shoe. |

Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | Have your farrier see if he can help with the pain but alot of times that can get expensive too if it cant be a easy fix, since you were saying hes worst without the boots on and moved better with the boots I think theres a deep lying problem, I dont run to a vet for every little thing either, but I would at least have the coffin bone and navicular bone checked to at least rule it out if thats not the problem and I think it would be alot cheaper then guessing and spending a ton of money on farriers and supplements, been there done that untill I finally broke down and took my gelding to the vet after fighting with a lameness problem for at least a year and a half had x rays done and found out he's got rotation in his right hoof, and also found out hes IR and now I can manage the problem, the first trip to a different vet he didnt x ray and so he missed the problems but had a farrier come out and shoe him at the vets office, now that was freaking expensive did now fix my horse and this special farrier worked on him a year, got tired of this mess with my horse being off so I finally took him to my main guy after a year and he found the problem with 4 xrays, two per hoof. Was alot cheaper then my first trip to the vet that thought just special shoeing would help |

or it can mean he needs shoes and quicker breakover.  |

| Cheapest thing to do is get a barefoot trimmer out to trim him every 4 weeks, or learn to do it yourself. Pete Ramey has some great videos.
If he just had his shoes pulled he may still be sore from that. I would keep the boots on when on rocky ground, and leave him barefoot.
Also check for thrush, this can make a horse head bobbing lame.
Have the farrier use hoof testers and see where he is sore, heels, may be navicular, but could also be contracted heels, frog, thrush, toe laminitis.

Meep.Meep I know how you love to argue on here so not arguing with you, this was for Bingo not you.. I was trying to tell her I would have saved tons of money if I would have done the xrays in the first place instead of trying to guess the problems, I'm no expert for sure but was just giving her my opinion. You gave her you're opinion and I gave mine and others have too. And you could be right about the breakover, but since he came out of a kill pen and hes a nice looking horse there was a reason he was there, unfortunate for this gelding. |

Location: In The Snow, AZ | Like I said, I know that just a set of shoes may not be the answer. But right now, I can’t justify spending a ton at the vet. In a few months, when our lives are a little less financially stressed, we will if needed. I was just asking for opinions and ideas in the meantime.
I lunged yesterday without boots and he actually seemed more comfortable.. I’ll upload those videos. |

Thank you. I’m hoping to actually have a chance to saddle him up before the week is done and our weather goes to junk. I haven’t been able to do anything as it seems they used glue to attach his auction number on his back. I can’t get the goo off and he’s agitated at my scrubbing. |

Hey! Happy thanksgiving. Thank you for your message. I LOVE cleaning houses too.  It is a very satisfying thing to me, to be able to go in and see what you can accomplish. I’m just prayerful that God can bring me the amount of work I need to help keep our household the same! It definitely seems more challenging now than it once was. |

Try WD-40 if you haven't already. It will usually get the sale barn glue

Thank you so much! Used it today and the glue is gone! In saying that, I was able to saddle him and walk him around. Waiting to have the farrier our before I ask for any more. But I’m very happy with how he was, for being seven years old and having a year off. Maybe my expectations are low, but I’m excited. |

Location: In The Snow, AZ | He’s doing well! I haven’t been able to do a whole lot with him, between weather and waiting on the farrier. We finally got shoes put on him two days ago. The farrier hoof tested him and said he’s foot sore but not limited to the heel, doesn’t feel that he’s navicular. Obviously he said x-rays would be necessary to make a more definitive answer, but he recommended putting regular shoes on to help him grow some foot out. He agreed that he was trimmed far too short and his feet are very soft.
I lunged him, and he’s much improved with the protection on his feet. Was pretty spunky, actually. I’m happy to say, he’s JUST passed his quarantine time, and I was able to move him over to where the other horses are today. So now I get to go running to the window every time a hear a squeal.  Hoping to get on him next week as the snow moves out and we get above freezing. |

His hind legs are pretty scraped up, no swelling or heat at this point, but he’s definitely sore. Busted up my heavy duty panel, so I’m sure he’s not feeling too hot. He’s now back in his quarantine pen. I’m not sure how to introduce him over if he’s going to have a kick-fest, I don’t have the extra funds to deal with injuries. I have a super long run-in, with three stalls coming off of it. So everyone is separated. I guess I’d rather him kick panels than my other horses, but don’t need him hurt either. |

Glad your farrier suggested x-rays, it will be cheaper in the long run instead of guessing, at least you can rule out a few things if nothing if found.  |

Lol, YES! I’ve been so blessed with the two I’ve had though. They’re tough, gritty horses. I try to steer clear of the ones prone to injury. I had a very expensive (to me) gelding, that constantly was lame, or trying to hurt himself. Sold him, kept in contact, and he’s still doing much of the same. Worst $10k we’ve spent on a horse... I’ll keep my cheap horses... |

Location: Oklahoma | I had one that traveled just like that one when I got him. Was told he needed his navicular injected. My vet x rayed and said he didn't see any reason he needed injecting, so I pulled his shoes (which were these horrible wedge eggbars that weighed a ton) and let him go barefoot and he went sound. I also treated him for EPM, as he had an atrophied shoulder. Between the two, he stayed sound. |

Well... “Buckner” has taken on a new meaning as now he’s wanting to buck. Lol, he’s sound. Getting along with everyone now that I switched up the order. But feeling good enough to buck under saddle. I need to find more time to ride. It’s been rough between work, holiday stuff, and it being pitch black by 5:30pm. :( can’t wait for Spring!
At least you know he's feeling good!  |

Location: In The Snow, AZ | Nothing much unfortunately. We’ve been having highs in the low 20s and everything is covered in snow and ice. :( other than that, “Rooster” very much enjoys opening my other geldings pen, chasing the dogs around his turnout, and unplugging the water de-icers.... every night. (Insert face palm here) |

Love his name Rooster, I had a Rooster tall pretty sorrel gelding about 18 years ago and a Blue Heeler named Rooster he came to me with that name, I had a gelding and a heeler both with the same name at the same time and hauled them both together, of course Rooster the dog rode in front with me.. |

Haha! YESSS! He is the Liberator. However it’s hard when they all go without water all night and I’m breaking thru 4 inches of ice in the mornings.  |
