[QUOTE="CattleAnnie, post: 56523, member: 220"] Agree with OT. Too much feed and too little work ruin more horses than neglect. Killed by kindness, you could say. Ponies and drafts are really easy to founder, as both are easy keepers. I'm a little leary of putting heat on a horse's legs if it's foundering. Seems to me (just a thought) that you want to get the heat out, not add more. A friend of mine had a two year old QH gelding grass founder this summer. You could feel the heat in his frogs. Cold water therapy (hosing) and lots of it brought him around to soundness. Helped take the heat out of his hooves and reduced his discomfort. Bute too, of course. Sure hope you make out okay with the little critter. [/QUOTE]
