Default Navicular

Took my horse to the vet the day before yesterday and got the dreaded news. Your horse is suffering from Navicular Disease! He suggested Aluminum Egg bar shoes with flat pads and changing the angles. Administering 20 grams of bute in the AM and 20 grams of bute in the PM twenty tabs of Isoxyprine in the AM and 20 tabs in the PM. I have heard about barefoot trimming correcting this problem in other horses. Any feed back appreciated? Also, if there are any Natural Trimmers in my area, I have not been able to find any yet!
