What is Thrush?

Thrush infections are typically caused by bacteria affecting the grooves of the frog.

Characterized by a black, foul-smelling discharge, this condition can quickly become quite painful for your horse.

 This bacterial (and occasionally fungal) infection is most likely to flare up with moist ground conditions. Combined with a lack of removal of debris from the foot, poor hoof balance, and/or lack of exercise, thrush can thrive, but often rears its ugly head despite all your diligent efforts. To try to avoid this troublesome condition, keep stall and turnout areas as clean and dry as possible and increase exercise in dry footing.

Equiderma Thrush Treatment was formulated to be gentle enough to use preventatively, but powerful enough to get thrush infections under control within 2-3 days. Many of our customers report results in 24 hours! Happily, our treatment has our signature Lavender scent and does not stain hands or concrete, and best of all, it does not sting your horse or harm healthy tissue! Simply scrub the treatment in with the brush end of a hoof pick, making sure to get in all the crevices!

Whiteline disease is classified by progressive hoof wall separation affecting the toe and quarters of the hoof, often caused by fungal spores. This condition is marked by areas of crumbly, powdery black or grey tissue at the white line. Removal of infected tissue, application of Equiderma Thrush & Whiteline Treatment, and protecting new horn growth are important treatment factors.

"Equiderma is more than just a business. It's an opportunity to help an animal. It's about compassion. It's a way of connecting with people and helping them with the animals they love. It's about providing effective, reliable solutions. They say that all products are the same, but we say different.

Equiderma may not be able to solve all the world's problems, but when it comes to making a difference in your horse's care, there isn't much it can't do. It's about worrying less and enjoying your horse more. It's about peace of mind."

-Bethany Padgett, Founder and CEO
