Rafael had what I think is termed a "mechanical founder," caused by physical stress, a few years ago. I trailered him home from training in Oregon, and it was a long ride. He was fine at the time, no obvious lameness, but as his hooves grew out I could see the "ring" of different-angled hoof growth. The ring grew out and there were no problems. I've learned since then to keep his feet quite short, surprising as he is so big!
