What most people do not realize is that thrush is a blanket term for a variety of funguses that can infect the hoof. Not all funguses (errrr - fungi) are sensitive to the same chemicals. The infections are all pretty easy to identify by the black moist "muck" with that very distinctive pungent odor that accompanies the ...

Colorado just had a major snow storm ! 1) Check winter blankets for repairs and fit BEFORE your horse is standing in front of you shivering in 13 degree weather.

My 3 year old gelding got kicked about 3 wks ago and developed a thoroughpin. I had him x-rayed and there were no fractures. The vet said that it was permanent and not to worry about it. He isn't lame but I was wondering if there is any way of treating this. Also wondering if I show him under saddle if this will be counted against me even if he is sound.

I had an injured horse, I was looking for ways to help promote healing and to keep infection away. My filly had punctured her tendon sheath on one of her back legs, pastern area. She spent a week at the clinic and 6 weeks on stall rest. We used this on the wound. The prognosis for a tendon sheath injury/infection is only a 5% chance of a full recovery.

So we resectioned the hoof, treated the WLD, and then used an new acrylic substance to rebuild the hoof wall. My farrier is now on a 'watch list' because of her using the new acrylic mixture.
