What disease can a horse get by not cleaning it hoofs?
It depends on what foot disease you are talking about. I know of two I will tell you the symptoms of: Thrush: A fungal infection in the horse's hoof, usually affecting the frog and the grooves around it. Sometimes it can cause horses to turn up lame, but this is unlikely. The fungus eats at the frog and grooves. You can tell it's there because when you pick out the grooves (never pick the frog) you will see that they are black. Also, they will smell really bad! The grooves will have gotten deeper, too. I suggest using Thrushbuster. In the future, prevent thrush by picking out your horse's hooves well as often as possible. Laminitis/Founder: A infection in the lamine of the horse, which connects the hoof bone to the leg bone. The lamine will disfunction and the hoof bone will rotate (in some cases) causing extreme pain. Symptoms are that the horse will not want to move. HE may also look depressed. The afflicted feet will be hot to the touch. Squeeze his ankle; if there is a raging pulse, that is bad. He might stand with all legs sticking forward, trying to take the weight of the front legs. Have him stand with his front feet in ice water. If he will eat and drink, give him hay and water. NO GRAIN, TREATS or GRASS for a foundering horse! And most important: CALL THE VET! Don't make him move, either. Symptoms for a foot disease in general include lameness, hot feet, unwillingness to pick up feet, etc.

Why are hot horseshoes put on horses hooves?
People put horse shoes on horses to protect their feet. This coming from a horse back rider, my pony Holly. Thanks.A:People put horseshoes on horses because most horses are kept in stalls, and in stalls, a horse stands in ammonia from its waste, and this weakens the hooves, so people put horseshoes on their feet as a quick solution so that they dont shatter on roads or other hard ground. However, what many people don't know is that it is actually better for the horse if you do not shoe him. Horses should be left in a pasture and kept barefoot. They can be gradually introduced to hard surfaces and their feet will grow harder like the mustangs. Shoes restrict blood flow through the legs, send harmful vibrations up to the joints and several other things that sacrifices the horses health.
Why do horses founder?
Horses founder because the owner doesn't get their feet trimmed. After a long time of not being trimmed it takes a LONG time to get their hooves back to normal. I once had a mare who foundered with her previous owner and it took 2 years to get her feet back to normal.Founder is caused by laminitis which causes damage to the connective laminae in the feet if too much strain occurs the pedal bone detaches and can protrude though the sole.Many people think that rich grass or one of the below bullets are what caused founder, when really, eating the grass or doing whatever else was merely "the straw that broke the camels back" so to speak. What most people think causes founder is:diseases which affect the horse's intestines such as colic or diarrhea.(too much) GrainWater in an overheated stateDigestive upsets due to grain overload or sudden changes in the dietSudden access to lush pasture (spring grass)High feverColic (horses with damaged intestine)Retained placentaExcessive concussion to the feet when walking on pavement, often known as "road founder"Bedded on black walnut shavings or ingestion of black walnut shavingsExcessive weight bearing on one leg due to injury of opposite legGram negative bacterial infections with endotoxemiaObesityWhen really, these are all "the straw that broke the camels back"What really causes founder is laminitis, which is the inflamation and/or weakening of the connection between the coffin bone and hoof wall. Then, when one of the above things happen, it "breaks the camels back" and causes the horse to get founder.Now, what really causes laminitis is improper hoof shape and condition (like in untrimmed feet, high heels, etc.). In normal hoof shape and condition, the coffin bone will be level with the ground (high heels and wedges or other orthopedic shoeing prevent this and causes the coffin bone to point downward until it starts to penetrate the bottom of the hoof). And then Laminitis, when combined with one or more of the above bullets, results in founder (they are 2 different things, although most people use them interchangably, but this is wrong)So, taking away the above points will not fix the problem. You need to return the hoof to its natural state. Find an expert barefoot hoof trimmer (preferably one trained in the Strasser Method), and the horse must be turned out 24/7 with a herd and 24 hour access to food and water that it has to walk to to get. Also, whether naturally or artificially, the horse must move 15+ kms a day to ensure proper blood circulation is occurring within the foot to heal it. The healing process for laminitis and founder is generally long term (1-2 hoof capsule growths for simple cases--to over 2 years in severe cases of dropped coffin bones, joint adaptation and other problems), but can be healed successfully and with soundness if done correctly. The hoof must be kept in this natural state. All horses should really, but foundered horses more so. Have you ever wondered how wild horses feet stay so heathy? This is how. They stay in a natural state, unaltered by shoes and other man-made things that supposedly help horses.
