A bacterial growth that occurs in the region of the frog, bulbs and/or commissures, mainly the central sulcus. Thrush is a very common hoof disease, it is frequently seen in spring and fall. In some cases, thrush can cause slight discomfort, it may bleed when trimming the frog and can take up to multiple cycles to clear up. Your horse may experience thrush due to deep mud, lack of cleaning of hooves, and wet/muddy conditions. Thrush is easily treated with regular farrier visits, iodine and/or thrush buster.
