Happy holidays to everyone! I've just put some new articles up on my website, and I'll be adding more next week. These three were all printed in past issues of...
Hi Guys, I have just had two (out of three) horses go lame in a week and a half. This is not from new trims. I don't think it is founder (straight hay eaters...
Borox powder soap is the only thing Ive found to get rid of thrush. Have you tried that? ________________________________ From: barefoothorses@yahoogroups.com ...
Hi Rad, I use Borax to treat thrush. I mix it in water, and soak their feet, or put it in a squirt bottle, and spray it on. It might be worth a try. I've never...
Thank you everyone. It sounds like Borax is the way to go! I thought I got the Lysol thing from Pete Ramey but it did not mention it on his web page when I...
I use a plastic scoop that comes with my electrolytes (1 oz?). One full scoop in a gallon of water and let it sit for a several days and keep shaking it...
That's what I use too, one of those scoop things that came with a supplement. And I put one scoop into the sprayer, I think it's a half gallon one, and then...
,<<<<But then I attribute it to the fact that these horse's feet are only cleaned when the farrier comes (every 6 weeks), and their pens are only cleaned every...
Hi Marilyn, Yes, the place I was referring to is a rescue. They do have a small base of volunteers that do come out, but unfortunately, manure clean-up is...
Hi Everyone and thanks for your help. I think I have a little thrush combined with underdeveloped heels in general. I have put pea gravle in the run-in shed...
Hello again, So my mare is doing better but is still sore. I don't need to ride her now and she is moving around on the snow. I can tell she is on her toes but...
I find if you add the borax to hot water rather than cold it dissolves completely. Just a little swirling later makes sure it stays mixed. I also add a glug...

I have a horse that I thought was foundered. I took him to a leg and hoof specialist and he thinks that he has a server clubbed foot. He says to take the heel...
I'll let the experts here give you the full explanation, but the vet is so right. I would pull all the shoes and lower the heal on this guy for sure . Jill ...
I totally agree with Jill. Let his feet have some room to expand without those shoes. If he doesn't llike being on the ground barefoot you can always get boots...
... Is this the same farrier that put a shoe on that foot? Get a new farrier, and take the shoe off. Any changes you make to the angle of the foot should be...
She seems to be improving. Here are some solar pictures from today's trim, sorry we couldn't get any on the floor, there was no place to do it. They would be...
I don't know what happened to him I got him in bad shape. I was told he had white line and it would grow out. She lied to me! I put a few more pictures on the...
If you take his heels down too abruptly, it could strain the tendons or his heels themselves could be tender and sore. Any major change in a horse's hoof is...
This is a SEVERE case of founder and the coffin bone is just poised to drop through the sole any minute. You need to find a founder expert ASASAP to help you...
I am new to this list, but I have been trimming my horses for a couple of years now. Have been to a few clinics by Cheryl Sutor and have hosted a few at my...
