[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1846310, member: 16453"] Really the same Jeanne. I think the term founder is used to describe the changes to the hoof from chronic laminitis where the pedal bone does become detached from the hoof wall and the flexor tendons pulls it down putting pressure on the sole. Removing the cause will hopefully improve the laminitis but the changes to the overall structure of the hoof referred to as founder takes a lot of work in horses with corrective shoeing/trimming, heart bar shoes etc from specialised farriers. In the situation with my heifer calf I noticed as the good hoof grew and got to about 2/3 way down the bad hoof started to break away around that last ring and started to lift off leaving nice new hoof underneath, it took about 6 months from when I first noticed her lying around.
