Old timer told me to trim the hoof wall slightly lower than the sole on the inside edge

I tried it on a tricky navicular horse last Wednesday and he actually moved better after 3 days, has anyone else had success with that approach on problem feet?

Oh man, that's awesome to hear it worked for you.

And it's funny you mention that, because I've been trying to tell people that the real trick is sticking with it for at least a month. Most folks give up after a week and miss out on the slow build-up (which is where all the good stuff happens). I swear, consistency is like 90% of the battle.

I had a buddy who tried the same thing but kept forgetting to do it on weekends. Took him like three months before he realized he was basically starting over every Monday.
