Founder is a term used to describe a condition caused by laminitus the coffin bone in the hoof detaches from the hoof wall drops and rotates it can protrude through the sole. It can be fatal as not all horses or pony's recover and the only option is to have the horse humanly put down. Put my friend's pony suffered from this and after lots of box rest and special shoeing he made a full recovery and can still be ridden.
