Online Laminitis and Founder Course
This 3 module course is designed as an add on course to our original Online Anatomy, Theory and Barefoot Trimming Course. It explores in depth the pathology of Laminitis and Founder, the differences between the two and the rehab process.
Founder is one of the most common hoof pathologies I see on a regular basis, and it is also one of the most difficult to rehab. Often times progress is slow and can be marred by a one step forward, two steps back type of scenario. Because it is so prevalent and because there is so much misinformation out there I decided it required a separate course to go further in depth to help horse owners gain a more thorough understanding of the causes, effects and the rehab techniques needed overcome it.
Laminitis is something I see less commonly, but because people often confuse the terms laminitis and founder I thought this course would be an appropriate time to explore it as well.

Module 2 will explore the causes of founder, the physiology and what is actually going on within the hoof.
Module 3 focuses on rehabilitation and will cover trimming techniques to manage pain as well as ways to support the hoof during an acute episode of laminitis, founder rehab plans, ways to support the horse during recovery and the long-term effects on both the hoof and the body of the horse.

While it is not a prerequisite that you purchase the original course before this one, it is highly recommended as the basic anatomy and function will not be covered again, instead we will dive deeper into the pathology and discuss more detailed trimming and rehabilitation plans specific to laminitis and founder.
