[RC] FW: [RC] Query #2: why are low heels bad? - Ginny HolsmanYes, low heels are a sign of navicular or lead to navicular. Horses should have no less than 1" heel. Some horses need more heel than others. Underslung heels often develop low heels. Underslung heels are often the result of navicular. It is not wise to buy or maintain a horse in that way. Although quite often a horse that has not had proper hoof care can be corrected with proper hoof care; it takes 6 months to a year, usually to correct low heels (9including supplements); longer without supplements, or sometimes impossible without supplements.
