Inflammation of the laminæ or fleshy plates along the coffin bone of a horse; founder.
A systemic illness in the horse which involves the malfunction of the AVAs in the hooves. The blood flow through the hoof may be increased, but it is diverted away from the fine capillaries which supply the laminae. This results in the death of some laminar tissue, and causes the horse pain. Laminitis can lead to founder.
Founder, inflammation of the sensitive laminae, or plates of vascular tissue, of the wall of the horse's hoof.
inflammation of the laminated tissue that attaches the hoof to the foot of a horse
Inflammation of the laminae (the inside lining of the hoof)
inflammation of the sensitive plates of soft tissue within a horse’s foot caused by physical or physiologic injury.
inflammation of the sensitive plates of soft tissue, or laminae, in the horses foot. Acute laminitis refers to an inflammation with rapid onset and brief duration, while chronic laminitis is a persistent, long-term inflammation. Either, in sever cases, may result in founder.

Condition, caused by systemic upset, in which the laminae inside the hoof become inflammed and painful to the horse. Severe conditions can lead to founder.
An inflammation of the sensitive laminae of the foot. There are many factors involved, including changes in the blood flow through the capillaries of the foot. Many events can cause laminitis, including ingesting toxic levels of grain, eating lush grass, systemic disease problems, high temperature, toxemia, retained placenta, excessive weight-bearing as occurs when the opposite limb is injured, and the administration of some drugs. Laminitis usually manifests itself in the front feet, develops rapidly, and is life-threatening. In mild cases, however, a horse can resume a certain amount of athletic activity. Laminitis is the disease that caused the death of Secretariat. Also known as "founder."
An inflammation of the laminae (flat tissue in the sole of the foot) under the horny wall of the hoof. All feet may be affected, but the front feet are most susceptible. Two forms are observed: acute and chronic. Acute is manifested by extreme pain, a bounding digital pulse and warm feet. Chronic is manifested by intermittent or persistent lameness and a diverging ring around the hoof wall. The sole of the foot will be dropped due to the rotation of the third phalanx.
Laminitis is a disease of the sensitive laminae of the foot in a horse. The front hooves are most commonly affected, although the hind feet are sometimes affected. Its name means inflammation of the laminae, although inflammation is no longer considered as the key mechanism of the disease process.
