Im not sure what the MOST common cause of laminitis is but i know some of the things that could cause laminitis.

If your horse is overweight, resistant to insulin, has a high porportion of grain in his diet, has had laminitis before, comes from a bloodline prone to laminitis, has access to lush or improved pastures (grazing rich pastures can lead to laminitis), has cushings syndrome, or excessive fat on his crest area.

If your horse has any of the things above he could be at risk for laminitis

How can Metabolic acidosis cause laminitis in horse?

Metabolic acidosis is a serious condition within the horse, and mercifully not frequently seen. Laminitis is considered by most to be a metabolic disease itself. For example: when a horse begins to starve, his body metaboizes his own fat stores, causing a buildup of lactic acid. Ketones build up in tissues and deplete alkaline stores. This happens as a result of starvation and metabolic disease, and ends in stretching and death of laminae = laminitis.
