Ah sorry I know what I meant lol Head is not where it should be...

What I meant is that Ted's situation is not bad, it is such a mild case there is no rotation or movement of the pedal bone. His laminae is inflamed.

I do understand how serious founder is, I am horrified that my horse has it, I understand the problems it can cause, and that it can be potentially fatal. However, if the vet believed there was rotation of the bone he would've straight away sent Ted for x-rays. He is straight to the point and knows Ted quite well, not to mention the years of experience he has, I'm sure he didn't study at uni for nothing.

At the end of the day I trust my vets advice, my trimmer, who knows Ted's feet very well also confirmed that it is a very very mild case and no need to worry about him.

Cheers
