2. Founder In Horses: Causes, Symptoms, Treatment & Prevention

Founder is a common cause of lameness in horses and refers to an advanced stage of laminitis. It involves damage to the laminar connection between the hoof wall and the coffin bone.

This often leads to rotation and/or sinking of the coffin bone which causes severe pain and can permanently damage the hoof structure.

Multiple factors can contribute to the development of founder. Horses with the condition may show a range of signs of distress and discomfort and typically cannot move about comfortably.

Prevention and treatment requires addressing the underlying causes of the condition. Founder is not always treatable if the internal structures of the foot have sustained significant damage.
