Founder, or laminitis, is a disease that comes in horses of any age but is especially problematic for the owners of older horses. It is inflammation and destruction of the hoof that can hamper the movement, comfort, and overall health of a horse. It must be carefully managed by diet changes, considerate care routines, and careful observation to support recovery and help maintain quality of life.
