"Nerving" a horse involves cutting the palmar or plantar nerves to the caudal aspects of the hooves in an effort to relieve the pain of navicular disease. In horses that have not found relief from any other treatment, some horses will find temporary relief from nerving. As the navicular disease progresses, however, the pain will eventually return. Nerving a horse also typically reduces its economic value and can make the horse ineligible for competition. There is also significant risk of serious infection or trauma to the area, as the horse will not feel any pain for any reason in this area.
