Many horse owners have at one point or another gone to pick out their horse's feet only to be met with a foul odor to the nose and the sight of black discharge. 🤢

This is an infection of the frog called thrush, most often associated with a compromised, recessed frog and conditions that let dirt, manure, urine, and moisture accumulate in the sulci.

It's commonly recognized by:
• Black discharge in the frog grooves
• Strong, foul odor
• A narrow, eroded, unhealthy-looking frog
• Sometimes a deep crack in the central sulcus
• Pain or lameness in more severe cases

Key Points:
• Wet, dirty footing and poor daily hoof care can contribute.
• Lack of exercise may also play a role.
• Cases often improve best when you address both the infection and the hoof mechanics/farriery behind the unhealthy frog.
• Simply applying products without improving the frog's health and hoof shape may have limited value.

Basic care include:
• Daily hoof cleaning
• Keeping the horse in a clean, dry environment
• Ongoing hoof care/farriery attention
• Veterinary/farrier involvement if the frog is painful, deeply fissured, bleeding, or the horse is lame

If you suspect your equine companion has thrush, reach out to your veterinarian and farrier.

What happens if your horse's electrolyte balance is thrown off? Electrolytes are critical to the performance and recovery of equine athletes.

These essential minerals help regulate nerve and muscle function and help the body maintain fluid balance. When they are lost through sweating, horses can suffer from dehydration, decreased thirst response, muscle cramping, muscle fatigue, and additional health issues.
