My hard stop on trimming foundered horses without a vet's okay

I walked away from a job last week because the owner pushed me to trim a horse with clear founder signs, and that's just not right.

That vet seminar last month showed a case where trimming made the founder way worse.

The Equine Veterinary Journal had a piece last year that said trimming too soon can slow down healing. It showed several cases where early trimming made the lameness much worse. Now many vets stress waiting until the foot is more stable.
