I started using thrushbuster last summer and I find
it works and the horse doesn't get as bothered as when using the daily iodine or
as messy as the bleach which also makes the horse annoyed. One side effect
is the purple which can spill over onto the hoof wall but only looks
funny. My gelding had fine cracks along the lower part of the hoof wall
which are receding now as I get on top of the thrush. mas
Thrushbuster is my farrier's recommendation. It's purple,
so you know where it is. It stays on the foot for a LONG time, and
it really has cleaned up my mare's feet. Best thing is you don't
have to apply it every day. I always try to remove as much yucky
tissue as possible, then douse everywhere that looks infected with
Thrushbuster. Best of luck,
