Re: [RC] White Line - rides2far

White line is environmental and seems to be very related to the weather.
Word is the fungus or whatever is pretty much everywhere. The time that
it seems most likely to crop up is when you've had a long dry spell, then
get some wet weather.  Cut it out, hit it with some formaldehyde and it's
history. The thing that seems to make them sore is the dirt working up
under the wall. If it's really deep like that you can clean it out good
and take some loose cotton, stretch it, soak it in iodine and pack it in
there. It'll stay for weeks sometimes. I've seen horses who had the whole
wall of their hoof cut off but had enough up high to hold the clinches on
the nails. The horse was never lame and continued to be ridden. I
wouldn't panic or worry about my horse being around the others. Just cut
away the damaged looking area if it's not deep, paint it with
formaldehyde (not very often...maybe every 4 days...it's very drying) and
that'll probably do it.

If somebody else has a "proper" diagnosis and treatment that contradicts
mine feel free to follow their orders but this has worked great through
several outbreaks around here. Seems the barefoot horses get it more
often contrary to what they first told us.

Question, 2 horses where I keep my horse have been diagnose with 
white line. 
  We changed fairer s and he discovered it.  Is this a contagious?  
My horse 
is not in their pasture (Neither of the horses diagnosed with it 
where in 
the same pasture either, though they come inside for meals.  My 
horse is fed 
in his pasture. The only time he comes in is when I bring him 
inside, 3 x a 
week.
Anyway, if anybody knows anything about this debilitating hoof 
problem 
please e mail me.  Thank you.
