"Founder" or laminitis is a swelling of the sensitive laminae or "white line" within a horses hoof. It causes pain and a rotation of the coffin bone (the bone encased within the hoof); which forces the horse to shift its weight onto the hind legs.

Sometimes in intense cases of founder, the coffin bone breaks through the bottom of the hoof wall.

It is usually caused by a large and longterm intake of rich grass (clover) or feed (if a horse gets into too much sweet feed).

If a veterinarian sees the horse quickly, oftentimes there is a good chance that with regimented care and medicine, the horse can be returned to normal work.
