Thrush is a bacterial infection of the frog. It smells bad and looks nasty. Read this link for more info: http://www.equus.com/pages/thrush_copy.htm

Gosh a basic description of what you see is black, almost as though their foot is rotting (BAD description I know), caused by too much moisture! SMELLS BAD!!! Easy enough to identify for that stuff....copportox will make it go away but stain ur clothes/shoes green so carefull! lol

someone else will do a better description I bet

It blows my mind that there are people out there who don't know what thrush is. Lucky you! It's a pretty common thing to have your horse suffer with thrush all winter up here in the Wet Coast.
