I'm up here in Central Ohio.That's a long way to come for hay.I think that timothy hay would be fine for foundered horses.My mare just went through a bout of laminitis-the vet recommended grass hay.Have you tried a drug called isoxoprine as part of your treatment?It improves blood flow to the hooves.Also did your vet do blood tests to see if the horses were insulin resistant?This is emerging as a major cause of founder in this area,I don't know about the southern states.If you would want some hay I have about 1000 bales available.
