laminitis, affecting the lamina, which connects the hoof bone to the leg bone and cushions the impact of the leg against the hoof. Laminitis causes the lamina to malfunction, meaning that the hoof bone separates and rotates, while the leg bone pushes hard into it, causing extreme pain. Laminitis can be caused by a horse eating too much grass, being overweight, or putting to much weight on one leg due to an injury.

What is laminitis in horses?
Laminitis is the painful inflammation of the laminae in the hooves. Also called founder, this condition can cause permanent lameness in the horse. The cause of founder is usually, but not limited to, overeating. The horse that gets into the feed room and eats 50 lbs. of grain or the horse in a large pasture where he will eat nonstop. Spring grass is a particular threat because it is extra rich from winter rain. In mild cases there will be a separation and/or deterioration of the 'white line'. In more severe cases the coffin bone inside the hoof can rotate and decend toward the sole of the hoof. Worst case scenario the coffin bone can rupture through the sole (bottom) of the hoof. If this happens there is nothing really that can be done. The pain involved is extreme and the horse may need to be euthanized. Symptoms for founder are heat in the hoof, rapid pulse at the back of the pastern, shifting of weight from side to side, Thick, hard, almost convex topline on the neck, a separation of the white line on the bottom of the hoof. Actually, founder and laminitis are two different things. Laminitis is the inflamation and/or weakening of the connection between the coffin bone and hoof wall. It is caused by abnormal hoof structure, like high heels caused by bad trimming, wedge pads, or orthopedic shoeing. When the heel is lifted, the coffin bone is no longer parallel to the ground, and the tip of it now has alot of pressure. It can then penetrate through the hoof when the right forces are placed upon it, (which is when it turns into founder) like lush grass, and other things thought to cause founder.
