Founder is a very serious hoof condition in horses. It is sometimes caused by eating too much sweet grass. The inside of the hoof (navicular) begins to deteriorate and if left unattended the hoof could get to a point where it falls off. The hoof becomes deformed if not treated within a certain amount of time and the poor horse is left walking on an uneven, crippled hoof.
