I'm very glad the article helped. I think there are many people out there whom will not admit the fear - for some reason horse people feel they have to be macho - or perhaps its the old "cowboy" - get back on and ride it out thinking. Who knows. Good luck Laurie - keep us up on your progress, as they said it sometimes takes time. discussing the theory that white hoofs are not as > durable as dark hoofs. I have a QH gelding right now with four white - and he is a royal pain in keeping his feet healthy. I pick his feet daily, apply hoof dressing as needed and now have a thrush and white line problem thats driving me crazy. He is either in a clean stall or a clean paddock. He is 100% healthy otherwise - I've tried the Biotin route - and thrush medicine - Iodine, Clorox and water, Kopertox, I keep his feet clean and medicate every day. If anyone has any other suggestions please let me know. This horse does not stand in mud or manure pack. Pat Holland Northwestern Illinois
