The best way to cure thrush in horses is by keeping the horses hooves cleaned and professionally trimmed. The horse must be stalled in a clean and dry area and the thrush treated with a water-based thrush product like Thrush-X . Oil based products should not be used.

What is a horse thursh?

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.)

Can you still ride a horse if he has Thrush thank you?

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.

What would cause the horses frog to become soft and spongy?

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!
