Re: [RC] White Line Disease - Ashley Marury

Thanks everyone for their suggestions and experience. I have tried Straw in her stall before and every last piece was eaten within two days. She was born and raised in a pasture and lived in one for 6 years before I bought her so she thinks straw is hay. I put her in our highest and driest stall we have. Our Arab gelding is such a pansy but that is ok because he keeps a very tidy and dry stall. So we put her in his stall and her foot seems to have dried out quite a great deal within just the one day she has been in there.

Today we went riding and I trotted her out and she seemed fine and we only have one other horse to ride that is Rocky Mountain and he goes CRAZY (I'm talking like epilepctic seizures when he sees a fly) with the flies so we took my horse and she turned up lame about 1/4 into the ride out but we weren't planning on going fast anyway. I tried an easyboot again, got worse so pulled that off and just walked the rest of the way. Her walls down by the ground are all cracked and peeling so now she is down on her soles. Her feet look horrible.

The problem with our Farrier situation is we just moved to this area a year ago and none of the Farriers around her seem to know anything remotely about Endurance and our two Farriers back home who both ride Endurance are not reliable. They say they are going to come and then that day comes and wouldn't you know it, they never come. And then of course you call again and they never call you back. However I will have one of them do her feet whether I have to take her down there myself and drop her off at their front door because I know they will be honest with me and not want to cut her foot all up for no reason. Thanks again,

Ashley

We had this problem with almost all our horses last
year.  North Carolina had tons of rain, so we thought
it was that.   We've finally been clear of it for a
year or so now.  One of the treatments we found, along
with making sure we clean feet every day, is use
Hooflex Thrush Remedy.  It's a syrup type liquid that
sticks in the hoof good....sticky when you get it on
your hands.  Another treatment that works good is a
mix of tea tree oil and vinegar.  Then if you also mix
in fly spray, like Bronco, it works great as a fly
spray.  Good luck with the feet.
