I have been out of the shoeing world for about 6 years. I have a horse that I took to the vet and he said the horse had navicular syndrome. He proposed a heart bar shoe or a egg bar shoe. The horse is a Missouri Fox Trotter. Has big feet and I have kept her trimed all the time. Has wide feet and good heels. He felt the horse is carring her weight on to much of the back part of the foot. He explained it by using the 4 point method.

Nick,
Provide some more details on your mare. What are her symptoms? Conformation? What are the clinical signs as far as x-rays or sensitivity to hoof testers around the navicular bone? This would make a good case study for our lameness physiology class.
