Is inflammation of the laminae of the hoof founder?
Yes. Founder is a term that is used synonymous with laminitis. In very simple terms, laminitis is inflammation of the laminae. Laminae are thin layers of tissue within the hoof wall. These thin layers of laminae contain a lot of vessels and tiny capillaries that carry blood into the hoof. Different layers of laminae have different purposes but one of the main functions is that these layers are what attach the hoof to the bone. When this laminae gets inflamed, just the weight of the horse on the hooves or walking can damage or tear the laminae, which can cause all kinds of pain and disfiguration of the hoof. The hoof can become detached from the bone, the hoof can rotate around the bone and in severe cases, the bone will puncture through the bottom of the hoof. If you suspect your horse is foundering, call a vet without delay. If caught soon enough, the vet may be able to help stop acute founder or curb it's damaging effects. Also, if your horse already has laminitis, don't let anyone tell you that it is permanently lame, at least not until you talk to a farrier who is trained in Natural Hoof Care practices. Many horses who were once thought to be permanently lame have been rehabilitated and restored back to being rideable.
