Founder is a condition that horses develope when they have eaten too much rich food, that is food that is high in nutrients. This excess of nutrients causes deterioration of the horse's hooves and more specifically the frog. The frog is the cushion-like triangular area on the underside of the horse's hoof.

It could also sit down and be breathing heavey, groning. And when you ask it too stand up it ,might not stand up and it will stay down for hours at a time ( These where the signs of my horse foundering ) but every horse could go though a different way. & you should call a vet straight away.

What causes foundered horses?
there can be losts Causes the horse not getting its hoofs picked out for a will or hoofs in dam areas all the time toThey founder because they do not have their hooves trimmed or taken care of properly.This is wrong!Horses founder because they are either on too much feed, or it's simply just how the horse is. Horses that have previously foundered are more likely to founder.You can remedy this by putting Epsom Salts in their feed and water or by cutting off their food supply completely. Do this by putting them in a dirt floor stock yard or any other yard the horse cannot have access to food. I know what you're thinking! This is not cruel! It benefits the horse more than harms it. Do remember to provide fresh water with Epsom Salts. Occasionally, like every 2nd or 3rd day, you can give the animal 1 biscuit of plain hay. Don't feel sorry for the horse. If you continue to feed your foundered horse, the end result will be a can of Pal. Sorry, but that's the way it is. And remember to keep trimming the feet to keep them in good order.
