A thrush infection would cause the horses hoof to become soft and spongy, if your horse's hoof has a very bad odour, then that is a sign of a thrush infection. Even if it doesn't have a strong odour it could still be a thrush infection, because the smell is just produced by rotting tissue, and dead bacteria. It would be a good idea to take your horse to a veterinarian. The best way to prevent a thrush infection is to clean out your horses hooves regularly! especially if you have your horse shawed!

What would happen if compact bone was on the inside and spongy bone was on the outside?

If the spongy bone was on the outside, people would look puffy or jelly like fillings. They're likely to be very sensitive to every little touch. Plus if an injury would occur the damage to spongy bone would cause less production of RBC's or permanent damage if continuously damaged. Spongy bone is lighter, softer and weaker then compact bone, but it has greater surface area and much more vascular, so it needs to be protected at al times and that's why we need compact bone to be on the outside because its stronger and stiffer then the spongy bone.
