Hoof thrush is found in the underside of the hoof and can affect the sole and frog. It’s not known whether thrush is caused by a bacteria or a fungus, but the condition is more likely to occur in the damp oxygen-less areas of a hoof that are often tightly packed with dirt and manure. In the early stages it is harmless, but left untreated it can cause hoof damage and lameness. You will quickly recognize thrush if you find a black, moist, foul smelling substance when you clean out the hooves of your horse. The thrush will likely be hiding in the deeper areas of the cleft. The smell of thrush is unmistakable. As you clean the hoof the black substance will sc out but leave dark staining. with Regular, frequent cleaning and removal of the damp dirt and manure from the hooves,and allowing (oxygen) to get into the affected area, this will help keep the foot drier. Keep the areas where your horse stands clean and dry. Remove manure, soiled bedding and hay.Regular trimming helps overall hoof health. Proper trimming and shoeing helps prevent under-run or contracted heels and deep clefts where it is easier for thrush to hide. A small amount of thrush is fairly harmless and easily treatable in the early stages. Left untreated however, it can erode the hoof to the point where the horse becomes permanently lame. If you find your horse has thrush and it has not advanced to the point of making your horse lame it is relatively simple to clear up. There are many products that claim to cure thrush on the shelves of every store that sells equine supplies. Some are more effective than others.

Pay close attention to cleaning the deeper areas of the clefts. Scrub the area with a stiff brush to remove as much dirt and thrush residue as possible. Be careful not to brush too harshly over the heel and frog. Paint or spray the iodine solution onto the bottom of your horse’s hooves. Be very sure that the solution s every possible crevice and surface. Repeat this for up to five days. After this time, the thrush should be gone.
