...seeing spots Posts: 1824 Location: BELLEVUE, IA	I have been reading a lot about people having success treating navicular with barefoot trimming and boots such as easy boots with the pads that stiumulate the frog on impact. Looking for your stories to help me make an informed opinion. I recently bought a gelding who has mild navicular and I feel like the way he has been shod has not helped him and that the barefoot and boots with pads may be the way to go. Thanks for your help.
