LOL!<BR/><BR/>I guess there are homegrown terms and lingo that become popular within certain regions or groups of horse people. You both made me realize that perhaps I need to compose a topic relating some of these "pet terms" and their definitions. I'm confident you'll recognize some of them if not by name, then by their meaning.Cindy Halehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826221923988198322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6817758588420976932.post-17895345703169874352008-01-24T12:04:00.000-08:002008-01-24T12:04:00.000-08:00"Galloping navicular" is just a pet term for a cas..."Galloping navicular" is just a pet term for a case of navicular that comes on extremely quickly. <BR/><BR/>Most times navicular progresses relatively slowly over time, with lameness increasing as the syndrome advances. But in some cases, the navicular progresses very rapidly with the horse becoming lame seemingly overnight.<BR/><BR/>So, while you likely won't find an official veterinary diagnosis of "galloping navicular," your vet or trainer probably has a similar term to describe a rapid-onset case.<BR/><BR/>Hope that helps!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6817758588420976932.post-10258655304703461202008-01-24T08:36:00.000-08:002008-01-24T08:36:00.000-08:00Ha ha ha!

It is funny how that is so true! But, I don't know one horse owner that would trade their horses for any amount of wealth...this includes me!! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6817758588420976932.post-88187224595654175922008-01-22T17:26:00.000-08:002008-01-22T17:26:00.000-08:00I guess it's navicular stress?
