Yay how fun!! not..lol.. Well our old rescue mare we got three months ago came down with founder.. The one we least expected to be able to founder did!! Poor girl is standing on foam stuff to keep pain off, and is on bute. And to top it off has to stay in a small pen, and all the horse miss her so much that they stand there with her..lol. We had no clue she was foundering on us, Ive never had a case of it on any of my horses tell now. We pulled her out yesterday to ride her and guess what somehting was wrong..She could hardley walk, and obviously was in pain, but we couldnt see or feel anything obviously wrong..Thankfully a lady was getting hay from us and new instantly and gave us medicine, and told us what to do. Im just not looking forward to all the shoing bills, and everyting she will need. Especially sense we just moved into this new house and the rent is really high for us.. So please please please, all your prayers that she wont need shoes long, or she will get better, and we wont have a ton of vet bills we cant afford!! Thanks so much, and I will keep you all updated!

Check out the natural horse trim, I've seen it help a few horridly foundered horses.

Jacki, if you have questions about anything or want advice, PM me. I have way too much experience with both chronic and acute laminitis.
