We are opening enrollment for a unique 3-month private online group dedicated to navicular syndrome.
This is more than a lecture—it’s an interactive mentorship where you will learn to understand navicular from the inside out, prevent common mistakes, and apply biotesigrity that truly protects the horse. As one would expect, there are errors in the document posted in 1890, and the first document of the 2025 Science of Motion’s Navicular Forum will be Dr. Elizabeth Uhl’s updated version, based on the most current knowledge. Considering that the document was posted close to a Century and a half ago, it was surprisingly accurate. What struck me is that at a time when people were living and depending on the horse, they fully understood that the forces loading the hoof originated from the body down to the legs and were dissipated mainly by the forelegs’ extrinsic, serratus ventralis, and pectoralis muscles.
The importance of the shoulder’s force-absorbing mechanism gradually vanished, and the focus narrowed on the hoof. When I had to turn my theoretical knowledge into practical application, it was evident that reducing the load on the forelegs was a priority. The second evidence was that not only the intensity but also the direction and frequency of the forces loading the hoof from the body down to the legs needed to be controlled, recreating proper function of the thoracolumbar spine. Yes, ground reaction forces extend all the way to the serratus ventralis muscles, but they originate from the forces acting from the body down to the leg and hoof. Unload it is the first step.
