I've never had a horse with thrush before. But generally I pick out their feet once in a while.
But here I am in the middle of nowhere, where people who can't even DRIVE and who don't have cars have horses...and I had to travel 90 miles to purchase a 95 cent hoofpick.
Of course, I could have used a screwdriver or a nail, but I didn't. I wanted a damn hoofpick.
Then the farrier came out before I had a chance to use it this last time, and she's developed thrush in the last 8 weeks. Great. Her pasture is dry, but her feet are much deeper and larger than the Arabs and a creek runs through it. So stuff gets packed in there and never sees the light of day. I'm a bad horseowner now.
