Unlucky

So last summer I started this horse on the barrels. He picked up on them so fast and really enjoyed running... everything was going the way I wanted it to other than he kept getting lame on his left front leg. So we took him to the vet and was told he was navicular and needed to be nerved. Anyway we thought about what we wanted to do and we decided that we would just lay him off for the winter and see what happens this spring. Well spring came and he was still lame, so we took him back to a different vet in Albion and he told us he had bone spurs on his navicular bone. Anyway so we put him in Eggbar shoes and buted him twice a day. Well it been over a month and he was still super lame and could hardly walk on his leg! So we decided we were going to nerve him and get it over with so we could use him so I took him up on Thursday and the vet ultrasounded his foot. Well anyway now he has a hole in his tendon that runs along his navicular bone and needs to be laid off for 2-4 MONTHS!!!! Yeah holy cow! Could it get any worse???
