Re: [RC] (no subject) - Lucky6mule

Don't know who this is, you don't sign your posts. But, have you noticed that most horses with high heels are often straighter through the pastern & shoulder?  Thus their conformation as a whole is the predisposition for navicular.  As for low, underrun heels--that can happen on almost any leg & is often considered bad because of extra stresses on the rest of the body.  I agree with you that it can, over time, be corrected.  But no guarantees.  Would you buy it?  My thought is, are you willing to get a farrier that can help & are the horses other qualities worth it?
