Experience w/navicular?

Had lameness exam done on my mare yesterday. Navicular is suspected and x-rays will be done next week. I'm encouraged by the vet and other info that it is manageable w/corrective shoeing and doesn't necessarily mean that my mare will be unrideable. Just wondering what others' experiences with navicular syndrome have been.

Also, vet recommending 2 farriers: Joe Zimmerman and Ryan... (darn, can't remember at the moment !) Any experience w/either?

Thanks!
