Founder is triggered by a number of factors, including overeating, switching diets too quickly, rich pasture (esp. with horses), feed high in carbohydrates and starches, poor feet conformation (see discussion page for more), excessive concussion if animal has been traveling on hard ground excessively, obesity in horses and ponies, etc. In cattle, acidosis will always cause an animal to founder.
