To get rid of smelly feet it takes about 3 treatments 1 a day for 3 days, first go to wall-mart and buy no-name athletes foot ointment in the tube and a tube of polysporn original mix equal portions together and with your finger spread it in the cracks and in the deep crevices around the frog as deep as you can and leave it and repeat the next day this will kill fungus and bacteria.
Hi you are defiantly having issues with the feet. I watched all your video's. The #1 thing to do is to stop putting junk on the feet, and put the horses on a complete vitamin supplement for the whole horse, the feet are to dry they are not holding there moisture that is why they are hard as rock and not flexible and powder and flakes come off they need to be soaked in water every day to get the moisture back in the foot and when you get smelly feet it is normally fungus.
Use the knife to trim them lower to live tissue and you won't have a problem.
On this horse your frogs are to full between the heels. I keep the frog grooves open right through beond the heel. You will get stones trapped in these frogs.
Treat him for thrush, Go to your local tack or feed store and get some Thrush buster, or any thing like it. You will want to treat it so even if there is no longer an infection, you are sure that it is being taken care of. You need to clean up his soul and get him freshly taken care of. As well as get a good hoof conditioner, I use Vita-hoof as my conditioner, all over the hoof including the under side, on the soul and frog as you should surely do that. I use Rain maker polish too and love them.
Again....You should not ave AN inch of bar beside the frog! Get rid of the heel! The heel needs to back up. right to the corner where it touches that frog. VERY overrun heels He isn't standing on any support, BACK foot Get rid of the chunck, the hoof is not trims in balance either. Again the heel needs to bbbaaaccckkk up. Bare are to long.

Get rid of those flaps... they're harboring bacteria. that's not the shape of the internal corium, it's a distortion.
Get rid of the excess bar and the flare will grow out of the heel quarters, and make sure you roll all the way around to the heel.
The front of the foot looks great... you're addressing distortion there. Looks like the feet I was doing a few years ago before I started changing things I was doing in the back of the foot....

The holes are going into dead frog tissue.
Use the knife to trim them lower to live tissue and you won't have a problem.

They are good shape and sound.
No problem. They are all built different.
Relax....your management is great.

I studied with the AANHCP and had a client base of about 300 head before I became a mommy :)
Try posting The Horse's Hoof some pictures on their facebook, they give great feedback there.
Here's some ideas... I'm no guru, so use what works for you. Good luck!
