Laminitis is one of the most important complex diseases of horses, often leading to irreversible hoof changes, which fundamentally restricts work and sports use of horses, fitness, performance, and reduces their value. Prevention and timely treatment is a prerequisite for further full use of the horse. The bachelor thesis deals with the anatomy and physiology of the hoof, the etiology of the disease of the hoof joint, and the formation, course and treatment of the hoof approval with the aim of getting acquainted with the possibility of alternative treatment. Part of the work is also an evaluation of the incidence of hoof approval, treatment and prevention methods. A questionnaire survey was carried out in 18 holdings with a total of 23 recorded cases of hoof approval, with the most common proportion of horses in the age category 11-15 years (34.8%). The disease was mainly found in horses used for recreation (78.3%) who had 60.9% physiological hooves. The disease was found in most horses (91.3%) in the clinical phase, most often after lameness (69.6%). The main cause of hoof approval in our questionnaire survey was a nutrition error (82.6%). From the point of view of breeding, the disease was most frequently observed in the pony (73.9%).
