Learn about laminitis in horses, ponies and donkeys, a painful hoof condition causing laminae damage and potential pedal bone rotation or sinking.

Hoof laminitis is a severe and potentially life-threatening condition affecting horses, ponies, and donkeys. It occurs when the sensitive laminae that connect the hoof wall to the pedal (coffin) bone become inflamed and weakened. As the disease progresses, the structural support within the hoof deteriorates, which can allow the pedal bone to rotate or sink, often resulting in long-term or irreversible damage.
