The cartilage protects the ends of the bones used in the joint. If the cartilage is removed, you no longer have two smooth surfaces articulating with each other, and the bone is not "built" to handle that kind of stress which leads to aches and pains. Hard to heal up too :(

question a million, Founder is the yank term for Laminitis so for this reason that's the "inflammation of the laminae of the hoof" question 2, those warning signs would point out Colic or a Twisted gut, so any of the final 3.

The bones rub together causing pain and damage.
