Expert Posts: 2685	I'm not asking if a person should or should not lol (I know the majority answer there). I'm asking for those that either have bred a navicular horse (mare or stud) or have/ have had a baby out of a navicular horse- Did your foals/offspring end up navicular? I have heard the controversy and read the research on if it is passed on but I want real life experience on if it was or was not passed on. thanks everyone! (I was offered a "nice" 2yo that is out of a navicular mare that shows no signs via external appearance or x-rays) YET lol Edited by RoaniePonie11 2014-12-19 11:48 AM

I never thought she had it because she carried herself well, and didn't act lame...it wasn't until the farrier came to trim her that I was told she had it. My farrier said that with her case that she wouldn't be able to support the weight of a baby, so I should avoid breeding her. I ended up having to put her down because as the weeks went by, I started to see how badly she was in pain.

More bootie than waist! Posts: 18425 Location: Riding Crackhead.	The oldest foal I have out of my navicular mare is coming 3 but she looks OK so far. My mare has navicular because of a bad farrier though so that makes a difference IMO.

Good Grief! Posts: 6343 Location: Cap'n Joan Rotgut.....alberta	i dont think its hereditary.....i think its poor conformation and bad or non existant trimming at an early age............when its caught at an early stage its very treatable m

Expert Posts: 2685	thanks everyone! the dam of this filly has pretty small feet (with naturally tall heels) but the filly and her sire (OTMR stud) does not- they both have relatively large feet for their size.
