  Geez  guys-- not only do 3 of 5 have this wierd new disease/syndrome  and 
I am backpedeling to  take care of this mess after(  being down with   The 
staph infection and cold) and bathing and  trimming  (which I was behind  
on).
  But now one of the two  who osccasionally get thrush ,--- picked up his 
foot and  started to clean and most of  the frog came off---I almost cried. 
He has deep grooves and  domed hoof, frog has always been  narrow  and 
doesn't weight bear like my other barefoot horses.
  I forgot, that, it isn't during wet ,  that these two get thrush , but 
when it is  dry a long time.  I had thrushbuster, which usually clears it 
up, and put it on--wondering if I was doing the right thing or not. he isn't 
lame, but he didn't like me cleaning it out. It 's like there is a hole in 
his foot
 I have epics  I could put on and  pack with?????????????????? (not that I  
have tried them on yet)
  Or , since I am now hosing 3 horses 2x a day for 20  minutes, would that 
and maybe spraying  a lysol mix or betadine or cider vinager be enough? And 
for how long? I read they don't recomend diluted bleach anymore.
   It is bone dry here. Only the poop is moist for about an hour.
    The  100's heat wave is brokern , it is only  90's now--- but will  
probably stay dry.
