[QUOTE="Wilson_Cattle_Company, post: 127995, member: 1541"] Howdy, Founder is inflammation of the laminated tissue that attaches the hoof to the foot of a horse. It is mostly casued by over-consumption of high protein feeds. Example: Sweet Feed, and Alfalfa. There is high protein in that combination and is to much for the horse. In most cases I would NOT ride a horse that is foundered until you can "repair" the animal if the founder is bad. The horse would have to have trimming attention constantly. As far as when you can ride it again depends on what conditions the conditions are in. ;-) That depends on how the horse is "healing" and what not. I have seen founder before. The WORST that I have seen was on a brood mare. She got in the grain and foundered. The Coffin Bone rotated 28 degrees. This is the worst founder that I have seen and that is NOT bad at all. She was still breedable and rideable. However, trimming attention was required and aquired on a routine basis. [/QUOTE]
