We have both. We are washing feet off when they come in and scrubbing hooves out daily and spraying them with blue vet spray. Worried!

If they are dry then put pig oil on them but not if they are even damp as it will trap the moist air and give the bacteria a lovely home!! hair dryer is good!

Mud is the reason Chomps has his legs clipped!

global herbs mud -x does seem to actually work/help when I give it to Chomps his mud fever seems to get better quicker or not come in the first place.

With all the snow rain etc we have I have had a pond in the corner of my field for weeks and the ponies are turning into marsh ponies!

I have never had to deal with thrush but I have found mud guard by gold label to be very good at preventing mud fever with Noble (who has suffered quite a lot in the past). I hibiscrub his legs once a week leave him in overnight with leg wraps on then apply it in the morning when his legs are completely dry. This protects his legs all through the week when I just leave his legs alone. Better still it's only about £5 and lasts for months. It may not work for all horses but Nobbie is mud fever free now and has been for years. Xx

pig oil you can put it onto mains and tails to stop them breaking as well pig oil is what every heavy horse owner uses for the feathers realy does help with the mud problems and you can pick it up quite cheaply on ebay either can get it on its own or mixed with sulpur
