Ok - but also I should note, a friend of mine had severe founder in her mare, and she sent it all the way to a southern state to a guy who wasn't afraid to hack that hoof away and level the coffin bone. The mare stayed there for 3-4 months getting frequent trims, and was sent back riding SOUND.

Unfortunately my friend was unable to find a farrier in her area who could or would keep up that very drastic treatment and the mare slowly reversed.
