I believe what you are asking is what is laminitis- if so it is a condition that damages the bonds between the dermal and epidermal laminae in a horse's hooves, or the things that hold the hoof on. Severe cases of laminitus are known as founder, which is BAD. Laminitis can be divided into three categories, cronic laminitis, usually the result of poor trimming and diet, acute laminitis which comes on very suddenly, usually the result of severe collic or a large dose of sugary food (can also be produced by contact with any part of a black walnut tree) and finally, 'road founder', which is the result of physical trauma.
Founder is NOT a loss of sight. It is damage to the laminae between a horses hoof wall and the rest of the hoof structure caused by inflammation in the horses foot. It is also called laminitis.
Horses have a tolerance for gluten, but it is very starchy and can cause Laminitis/Founder and other health problems to arise.
Cattle (and horses) become quite lame (or rather, cannot stand normally on their four feet and tend to limp when they walk), and get inflammation, and pain in their afflicted hooves. Founder is a layman's term for Laminitis. Laminitis or founder is essentially the separation of the laminae from the hoof wall causing severe pain in the animal. Cattle tend to get it most when they're on a "hot diet" or high-grain diet. Feed-tested bulls, feedlot cattle and dairy cows are more likely to get founder than any other cows. Cattle on pasture never get founder.
