[RC] Chronic Thrush - Carolyn BurgessI, too, had a problem with chronic thrush. Nothing had changed with this horse. He was kept in the same situation, his paddock and stall are cleaned daily. The only difference was we changed farriers. I would meticulously clean the afflicted hooves with hydrogen peroxide twice a day, apply the sticky, green thrush medicine. This went on for over a year. Finanlly, I looked at one of my horses feet and they were all wrong (not the one with the thrush). No heels, toes way too long. Turns out my farrier liked to make big feet smaller, and he was contracting everyones heels. Thrush and contracted heels go hand in hand, so consider that maybe your farrier is contributing to your problem. I was so mad when I realized that my farrier had caused the problem. We switched farriers, and now over a year later, no more thrush and no contracted heels.
