Bleach works, but it burns. I use iodine. It's messy, but it doesn't seem to bother them as much. There are also tons of thrush ointments and liquids that every tack and farm supply store sell.

i like to used the product "Thrush Buster" it has worked really well on my horses!!!

Bleach works but it needs to be diluted 50-50. At that ratio it doesn't even burn MY skin which is saying a lot. Even that Orango Glow stuff(not used on my horsies but in the bathroom) at a dilution burns my skin and that stuff is supposed to be "natural".

edited to add...bleach is what the vet recommended to me to use, in the 50-50 ratio over the thrush medications.

I really believe the best thing to use is a product that was made specifically for curing and preventing Thrush like Kopertox , Thrush Buster, Thrush Stop, Thrus Remedy...or any of the other ones! Not only do you want something that will kill the bacteria but also provides water-resistant protection.
During the wet muddy season I apply Kopertox to the soles of our horse's feet, even if there is no thrush, as part of their regular hoof cleaning process. It works for me!

I use Thrush XX and it works EXTREMELY well. It's messy, but it works.

I use Thrush Buster, but bleach in the 50/50 ratio works just as well. If you use bleach make sure you don't get any on the horse's leg, and keep a wet rag handy to wipe it off if you spill any on the horse or yourself.
