Navicular syndrome is a common condition in horses, particularly affecting the navicular bone located in the hoof. It occurs when this bone becomes inflamed or degenerates, leading to pain and lameness. Horses with navicular syndrome may show signs of discomfort, especially when turning or on hard surfaces. The condition is often diagnosed through a combination of clinical examination and imaging techniques, such as X-rays or MRI. Treatment options may include rest, medication to reduce inflammation, and specialized shoeing to support the hoof. Early detection and management are crucial for improving the horse's quality of life.
