Thrush is the infection of the frog of the horses hoof. You can normally tell, because when you go to pick their hooves, you smell something really strong and also you will probably see a black puss-like liquid. Thrush can occur when horse the horses hoof is trapped in moisture, for example, if your horse lives outside and stands in the mud all day, it most likely will get thrush. Hope that helps!! ~Makenna~

Thrush* is a fungus or infection that grows in the horse's hoof when the hooves are not properly cleaned on a regular basis and/or the horse is left to stand in a wet, soggy area with no dry land and no way to care for its hooves. Your local vet, stores like TSC (Tractor Supply Comapany), PetSmart, and many other animal care stores can provide you with a product called Thrust Buster that works like a charm. I have rasied and trained horses for many years, and I have never seen a case of Thrush that Thrush Buster couldn't handle. (Then again, my horses' hooves were never bad, if you don't see the Thrush infection healing, haul your horse to the local vet.)
