A cheap way to prevent and treat thrush, is about a 1/3 cup of bleach diluted in a litre of water. Just clean out your horse hooves and pour it into the hoof.
As you´re talking about: Get Duncan´s feet shaped! He´s got hoofes no fins! And get yourself a hoofknife and learn to shape the frog correctly! Then you won´t need any thrushbuster or other chemicals!
hoofrise is correct! A correct trim is the answer to healthy feet and many horse products are crap. I also agree with more frequent trims, it makes a HUGE difference! For thrush, I use a soaking boot and soak my mares hooves in laundry borax/water solution, heck apple cider vinegar is great too. In winter, I use the solution in a spray bottle. MOVEMENT is another huge factor along with giving horses hard surfaces to walk on. I have an area in my pasture thats packed gravel for them.
Our 3 horse, 2 barefoot & 1 w/shoes only on front feet are exposed to wet pasture/ground all winter.Stalls-cleaned daily w.shaving @ nite.Since the winter moisture on the grass is unavoidable,I have no problem w/preventative thrush meds/Kopertox.I probably get that done once a week on the one w/front shoes & keep an eye on the others a few times a week.You can't get away from the moist morning grass,albeit very eaten down.I don't think I'm being excessive w/the Kopertox.
And I totally agree with LaranaTJ, the hoof has to be grown healthy from the inside out. A good mineral balance and a low NSC (basicaly low sugar diet) high in good quality plant fiber, grass prefered. Hold the sweet feed! This will aid in growing a well connected thick hoof wall that wont flare out like this bad example in the video, look 2:40 only the top 1/2 of the hoof wall is well connected to p3. This could also have to do with how the hoof is trimmed. Typical pasture trim here!
Most of these ideas here are patches for the underlying problem (would take long to go into det) Thrush buster 2 times a week??!! For a healthy hoof adding chemicals for no reason would cause more harm than good. If thrush is a problem it might be a smart idea to investigate why the horse is getting thrush in the first place. A healthy living environment EXCLUDING stall bedding, manure and excessive mud, and includes varied natural terrain soil/pea gravel/grass/sand for one example.
Toughstuff!!!!! the hoof wall can ONLY be strengthened from the inside out. That´s to say healthy diet grows new wall, like our nails. Once the hard keratin layer that is the hoof wall is formed no amount of product will toughen it - they often make it brittle. Put hardener or polish on your nails, they don´t get stronger, only a good diet aiding the growth of a healthy new nail will grow a stronger nail. What a load of unbridled rubbish
Tell Andrew he could never be strasser certifed, lol. Hmmm, lets see here.... mustad thrushbuster, mustad tuff stuff, and mustad treats. ,..... hmmm. Sponsorship means... WE LOVE MUSTAD PRODUCTS, THEY ARE NUMBER ONE>
I agree -- Strasser should be banned! The saying should be more hoof -- more horse! I am appalled at continually seeing overtrimmed hooves and sore-footed horses for that reason alone! Cheers, Susan
not to be pickkee, but your horse seems to be toed in and his feet could be healthier looking, i really like what you are doing just make sure that your farrier is keeping the foot better balanced and have a little better shape to them
i know u very likely know this but he is in major need of a hoof trimming

I Like her opening comments.
4 to 6 weeks. is ideal.
I get calls on horses when the last trim was 3 months ago or hell they can't even remember. This is when the damages occur. Thats neglect.

Why don't you unbridle the truth.
These products are horse shit!
Correct trimming is the only thing that truly strengthens hooves.
