tunny black grease around the frog that smells bad Could this be thrush Answer It sounds wry much like it youd better have your vet look at it though Just to be sure theres nothing else wrong Thrush is a nasty infection usually caused by foul wet matter staying too long around the cleft of the frog horses are left standing in a dirty stall without regular hoof cleaning thrush is often the result However it can appear when mud packs a chunk of manure against the frog and is not cleaned out Obviously the prevention Is to dean your horses hooves regularly everyday if possible ana turn your horse out daily snow and wet grass have a effect on the hoof If the frog does begin to smell and look greasy dont pick at It can do damage to the frog in its Infected state Pour a little disinfectant such as diluted or on it and pack the frog with pine tar to keep it soft and dean Don feel too badly if your horse does have thrush it lsnt always a case of neglect Some horses are more prom to trouble than others However do check Ha stall for see that he runs out every day all day and clean his feet regularly Question Ive bad a light brown marc for eight months my and I am worried about her I feed a lot but she seems to be and dull has a long winter coat but it is not healthy looking Shes not sick enough for a vet but doesnt look right to me Any suggestions Answer Yea call a vet She sounds like she has worms and needs your vets advice as to what kind of worms she has and the best remedy After this feed her a commercial worm powder three months It saves you feed in the long run I hate feeding horse parasites the freeloaders Just to be on the safe side check your feeding methods A horse does much better when its small stomach is fed small amounts three or four times a day It should have about one- third of a small bale or one half of a large bale of hay per day spread over the feedings Also feed a gallon or two of mixed gram oats corn bran molasses per day While youre feeding her up give her all she can eat up to three gallons providing she doesnt get hard to handle Horses get wry high on grain After she is in good shape cut the grain down to an amount that seems to keep her where she Is in winter most horses get little work and so dont need much grain Give her tree choice mineral and salt and free choice dean fresh water Add to this a large dose of fresh air and exercise and she will do fine Please send letters to Jennifer Acton Mother tots escape flames at Hillsburgh Fire believed to have started from a defective light socket In a downstairs closet has left a young
