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.

Founder in horses is basically when the coffin bone, inside the hoof, is shoved against the inside of the hoof, pressing on all the nerves and viens that are delicate and important. This, as you may conclude, is extremely painful, and causes a more uprite stature in the hoof. Horses that have foundered may stand in the "founder stance," with their hind legs tucked far below them and their front legs sticking way out, as to take their weight off of their fron feet. Usually, horses founder in their front hooves. Howrse answer is Inflammation of the laminae of the hoof
