It's that time of the year when the ground starts to get softer and thrush can affect your horses hooves. 🌧️

Mustad Hoof Gel (previously Thrushbuster), is a powerful hoof treatment that forms a clean barrier and deters the pe*******on of dirt and manure into the healthy frog. Even in the wettest, muddiest terrain Mustad Hoof Gel can stomp out thrush on contact and reduce the chances of reinfection. 💜
