Miniature Horse Founder
Founder is an especially onerous issue for miniature horses and vets say that founder is especially prevalent:
- In the spring among miniature horse
with free access to pastures.
- During Rapid changes to feeding habits. The careful miniature horse owner will be careful to gradually introduce changes to diet. This includes changing types of hay. When introducing a new hay, it should be mixed-in with the existing hay supply.
If your miniature horse does founder, immediate farrier and vet care is essential because severe founder can kill a miniature horse.
Vets say that founder is characterized by rapid hoof growth, and some miniature horse owners have been successful in preventing lameness with frequent (every 2 days), corrective hoof trimming.
