Colder, danker weather is prime conditions to weaken your horse’s hooves and to strengthen those organisms that cause such conditions as thrush. Thrush — that serious hoof disease characterized by a thick, black, foul-smelling discharge — can, if not treated, eventually harm the hoof’s support structures and lead to long-term damage. Farnam Horse Products helps you to combat that threat with its Horseshoer’s Secret Thrush Treatment. The FDA-approved formula combats thrush-causing organisms susceptible to copper naphthenate, the product’s active ingredient. The formula is waterproof, so you won’t need to bandage the hooves. A Horseshoer’s Secret supplement is also available, to strengthen hooves and make them less prone to damage or disease.
Cost: $16 per 16-ounce bottle.
