Re: [RC] Lucerne Hay and Laminitis - steelsidedown

AFA & BWFA newsletters, American Farriers Journal, "The Horse" magazine.

It does not indicate specific bloodline, like per say Impressive and HYPP.  It 
indicates a genetic link, horses in family groupings are more likely to have an 
actual founder episode if exposed to an irritant.  They are working from the 
common knowledge that you can do everything wrong to some horses and never 
expierence a founder, and everything right with others and they still founder.  
Also research is seeming to suggest horses that founder in their early lives, 
develop cushings later in life - and there is a possible link there.

Again, all in the research and information gathering phase, nothing in concrete 
yet.

It hit a nerve with me, as my foundered mare has two foundered brothers... all 
three live in different states, happened to each at different ages, for 
different reasons.  I owned the dam, she died at 31 without a hint of a 
problem.  So in my case it rings true.... of course the vast majority of horses 
we aren't able to track "family".

Jen, do you know where to access research that identifies particular 
bloodlines as being susceptible to laminitis?
