[QUOTE="dcara, post: 37912, member: 473"] The concocktion our farrier recommends is to help keep infection out when the hoof wall has some separation or seedy toe. It consists of about 3 onces of iodine and an ounce of turpintine mixed into a pint of pinetar. This is then applied all the way around the top of the hoof at the cornet band. Be sure to get the back of the heel also. This stuff will soak into and migrate down the hoof wall. I certainly don't know how uncomfortable it is for your horse to move but the exercise is important. Even if you just take her out and lead her around the pasture for a bit. Eventually working up to about 20-30 minutes at a fast walk a couple of times or even once a day or whatever shes comfortable with. My bet is that she would enjoy the outings and would let you know the intensity level she was comfortable with. [/QUOTE]
