Stinky feet

With all our wet weather lately everybody is struggling with smelly feet and thrush. Wet feet isn’t always a bad thing, as in the wild horses will soak their feet to keep them flexible and soft and a softer soul allows drainage. But overly wet feet can get all sorts of issues - the main one being thrush.

The easiest and most effective treatment for thrush is good old apple cider vinegar. Once cleaned out simply spray or pour apple cider vinegar onto the entire entire hoof at least 2 to 3 times a week. This will keep your thrush bay and also allows the foot to stay pliable and drain toxins - as that’s what feet are meant to do.
