Hoof Care and Thrush Support Guide

Short answer: good hoof care starts with regular picking, dry/clean management, farrier partnership, and checking the frog and sulcus before choosing a hoof-care product.

Start with the hoof in your hand

Thrush-like concerns are often tied to moisture, manure, mud, packed debris, poor airflow, and hoof environment. Product helps most when the routine is consistent and the farrier is part of the picture.

What to check

Owner checks

  • Pick feet regularly.
  • Look at frog, sulcus, sole, heel bulbs, and odor.
  • Keep bedding, turnout, and wash areas cleaner and drier when possible.
  • Track whether the horse is sore or changing movement.

Call farrier or vet when

  • The hoof is painful or the horse is lame.
  • There is deep cracking, bleeding, severe odor, or discharge.
  • The frog/sulcus looks deteriorated or worsening.
  • You are not sure what you are looking at.
