[QUOTE="J&T Farm, post: 449771, member: 2314"] A horse that has foundered in the past will need extra trimming and care for the rest of there life in most cases. Most horses do founder on the front feet, I have seen some that foundered all the way around. If the horse has been foundered your horseshoer would know it. Some horses front feet just grow more, our horses front feet are always longer that the backs, have more cracks, some of it is because the front feet carry alot more weight than the backs. If the horse is sore on the front feet something may be wrong but, if it is just that the feet are growing long and cracking, I would say you just need a good horseshoer. If the horse has foundered before the founder is done and you can't rotate the coffin bone back up so you just have to work with the foot the way it is, If the horse is having trouble walking corrective measures can be taken by a horseshoer to help relieve stress on the tendons, and muscles, wedge pads, trimming the feet at the right angles. Hopefully your horse is just one that front feet grow faster on. [/QUOTE]
