What is Thrush?
Thrush is a degenerative condition of the frog of the hoof characterized by infection and blackening of the affected area. It appears as a foul-smelling, black, clay-like material in the area surrounding the frog. To prevent this infection, clean hooves regularly, provide a dry environment, and use a drying agent if necessary.
How Does Thrush Buster® Work?
Thrush Buster® creates an antiseptic barrier between healthy tissue and thrush to prevent reinfection. Its unique purple color tells you where it's doing its job, with a fresh coat needed only where the color has faded. It's milder to sensitive tissues than bleaches, copper sulfate or turpentine, and can also be used before applying sole pads and silicon to toughen thin-soled feet and reduce bacteria counts.
Previous Feedback
Comments: Thrush buster is the bomb on thrush! It has been a life saver for me. My horses use to get hoof abscesses, but since I have using Thrush Buster I haven't had one. I tried other types of thrush products, but they didn't have the long lasting and effective treatment that thrush buster delivers. and a little goes a long way, and deep into the hoof areas. It is a great product and Riding Warehouse is the place to buy if you want and need to save money.

Comments: Thrush Buster is by far my favorite treatment for thrush. The product is a bit pricey for the size, but Riding Warehouse sells it for $5-$6 cheaper than my local feed stores. My farrier told me my horse was the only horse at the ranch that had very little to no thrush despite the increase in rain several weeks ago. I use it once a week as a preventative measure when it rains frequently and it definitely keeps the thrush away. Only caution, it will stain things, so either wear gloves or pull up your sleeves so you don't accidentally get the purple color on clothing! Excellent product and excellent price from RW.

Comments: Hands down this is the best treatment/preventative for thrush! Don't be deterred by its small bottle; this stuff is powerful and gets the job done. My Farrier and I both appreciate that it does not have the immensely strong odor that Thrush-xx has. Although it will stain purple if you get it on you, I have found this bottle design much easier to apply than the Trush-xx bottle. If the little dispensing hole gets plugged then I use a needle to poke it open again. I like to keep a bottle in the trailer and at the barn so it's readily available whenever wherever needed.

Comments: It works! It dries out the hoof quickly! It does stain on your clothes though-so watch out! They recommend 1x a week for maintenance, and 1x a day for a week for treatment.

Comments: This stuff works! I have tried everything from natural remedies to sprays to Coppertox. Small bottle but it packs a punch. More potent means you can use less. My horse has a chronic problem with thrush and this is the only product that will treat it. I don't even waste my money on anything else!
