The hoof of the horse, is the most delicate of structures.
These two terms “laminitis” and “founder” are often used interchangeably however they actually mean two different things.
I’ve said this before and I’ll said it again - I don’t have an issue with shoes. If a horse truly needs protection, or is rehabilitating, providing man-made support is an amazing option! However - I do think that there are better options than metal shoes these days. This depends entirely on if the owner is dedicated & willing to explore alternative options for the sake of their horses long term wellness.
Navigating hoof pain and sensitivity is no easy feat. You must find an educated nutritionist, farrier or trimmer, vet, or EDO, and maybe even a bodyworker educated in hooves to assist you in this journey. Do not settle for less! Seek second opinions if you’re not hearing what you want to hear or if nobody is willing to listen to all of your concerns. You are your horses advocate and unfortunately that often means you’ll need to educate yourself and even the professionals that you turn to.
