📣 Farrier Case Study: Helping a Horse with Navicular Thrive Again 🐴
🔧 Shod by Jeff Mangone, APF I | Forge Fate Farrier Service

Today, we helped a horse suffering from navicular syndrome get the support it needs to move more comfortably and with less pain. For this case, we used an aluminum JB blunt egg bar shoe paired with an impact pad—a combination designed to reduce concussion and protect sensitive structures in the hoof.

✅ Why this setup?
The egg bar shoe helps distribute weight and relieve pressure on the heels, which is critical when dealing with navicular. The impact pad absorbs shock with every step, helping to reduce vibration that could irritate the navicular bone and surrounding structures.

🔷 Why a square toe?
A squared and backed-up toe allows the hoof to break over more efficiently, meaning the horse doesn’t have to work as hard to lift and move the foot forward. This earlier breakover reduces strain on the deep digital flexor tendon, which in turn lowers the pressure on the navicular bone—one of the key goals when managing this condition.

This is just one example of how proper farrier work can make a big difference in your horse’s soundness and comfort. Every shoeing plan we design is tailored to the individual horse’s needs, with both performance and long-term health in mind.

🧬🐴 Understanding Lameness: It’s Not Always Your Farrier’s Fault 🐴🧬

If your horse is coming up lame, it’s easy to point fingers at the person working on their hooves. But did you know that genetics, age, disease, and injuries are some of the most common causes of equine lameness?

➡️ Horses, like people, are influenced by their genetic makeup. Certain conformational traits passed down from parents can lead to long-term stress on joints and hooves.
➡️ As horses age, wear and tear on their joints and soft tissues becomes more pronounced, increasing the risk of lameness.
➡️ Diseases like laminitis, navicular syndrome, and arthritis can cause ongoing pain and soundness issues—no trim or shoe job can “fix” these problems overnight.
➡️ Past injuries—even ones that seemed minor—can resurface over time, especially with changes in workload or terrain.

🎯 A skilled farrier’s job is to support and manage these conditions, not magically cure them. Proper trimming and shoeing can make a world of difference, but they work best when paired with realistic expectations and a full veterinary diagnosis.

👨‍⚕️👢 The best results come from teamwork: Farrier, vet, and owner all working together with the horse’s best interest in mind.

✅ Stop the blame game—let’s focus on solutions.

This is something that Jeff Mangone Apf-l of Forge Fate Farrier Service has always strived to be  and that is an advocate for your horse.
Is your Farrier an advocate for your horse?
Thank you to our friends at Florida Farrier Service, Inc 

📣🐴💬 Be Your Horse’s Advocate
If you’ve been dealing with the same issue for months—or years—with no real improvement, it’s time to stop accepting “this is just how they are.”

➡️ If your horse is always sore…
➡️ If they never quite move right…
➡️ If something “just isn’t adding up”…
➡️ If your horse has had long term whiteline or thrush…
Trust your gut!!!

💡 Soundness isn’t supposed to be a mystery. If a problem hasn’t improved despite multiple attempts, the issue may not be getting addressed at the source. You owe it to your horse to ask new questions, get fresh eyes, and challenge the status quo.

✅ Advocate for diagnostics.
✅ Question routines that haven’t worked.
✅ Get curious—not complacent.

😊 Your horse deserves progress—not excuses.

🩹 Because “managing” a problem forever isn’t the same as fixing it.

👏 Soundness. Comfort. Longevity.
It takes every single person on your team to accomplish this! That’s what we’re all here for. 🙌

🪞Fact Friday – The Hoof Is a Mirror of Its Environment, It Reflects the Environment It Lives In!

💦A horse’s hoof reacts constantly to its surroundings.
Changes in temperature, footing, and stall hygiene all leave their mark—sometimes literally.

🔍 Look for the signs:
• Horizontal rings? Could be diet or environment shifts.
• Soft heels or sole sensitivity? Wet conditions.
• Brittleness or cracks? Often from excessive dryness or inconsistent moisture.

🏡 Want better hooves? Improve the environment.
Clean, consistent, and supportive footing isn’t just ideal—it’s essential.

👉 Your farrier can only do so much… the rest is up to the environment you provide.
