Finally we have rain!
With the drought, sole and frog have remained, covering the new healthy tissue. Over last few weeks those frogs have been starting to peel of and exposing some pretty yucky thrush areas. So after the rain , don’t be afraid to pull or trim off the frogs and sole and treat any black areas.
Scrub with hot soap water.
Spray with cider vinegar and water 1:3 ratio
Apply thrush buster or Equine probiotic or the hoof mixture listed on previous post.
Once old sole comes off there may be a heap of wall to trim away- good thing is that it’ll be softer!

Hoof dressing recipe for summer.
Thick hoof dressing or coconut oil
Stockholm tar
Cider vinegar
Optional if there’s seedy toe or thrush: copper sulphate powder, tea tree oil.
Mix it all together and apply daily to top and bottom of hooves.
Helps prevent cracking, treats thrush and slows excessive growth.

Time to get daily moisture into hooves. Overflow the trough, make a paddling pool or go stand in a creek. ESP before your trim!
