California Mud Creates Thrush Problem

My daughter's horses have a muddy paddock that doesn't dry out for days after a rain. We have been fighting thrush.

We cleaned each foot with hydrogen peroxide or chlorine bleach diluted with water (after the cleaning, feet must be dried well with a towel).

We decided to try diapering each foot so her horses would not be standing in mud all night long.

First we applied the diaper (two work better), and then we wrapped each diapered hoof with duct tape.

By the time we were done, both horses had silver slippers on all four feet!
