HOW DOES THRUSH OCCUR?

​Thrush in horse hooves is very common. Thrush can be brought on by excess moisture, paddock bacteria or fungi, manure trapped in hooves or diets high in sugar and starch. It thrives in unsanitary conditions, in the wet and in dry hooves with a tight contracted central sulcus.

Horses that live in drier conditions can be susceptible to thrush if their hooves are allowed to collect dirt and debris. Thrush is fairly easy to recognise based on the dark, black discharge and foul odour. (Smelly Cracks).

Dry condition thrush (desert thrush as its often called) does not appear on the surface, rather it is usually right up where you cannot see in a tight contracted central sulcus.

Minor thrush is easily managed with some basic care and topical applications, but more advanced cases may require farrier or veterinarian intervention.

HOW TO MANAGE THRUSH?

Keep your horses on schedule with your farrier and trimmer (4-6weeks max) and ensure your farrier is keeping an eye out for any signs of the start of Thrush - in all nooks and crannies of the hoof.

If Thrush takes hold and the farrier needs to cut back some areas of the frog, let them!. As this is an opportunistic bacterium which thrives in an anaerobic environment. Working with your farrier to ensure there are no hidden pockets of thrush within the frog which will then allow you to be attending daily with easy access and a topical management plan.
