The best way to cure thrush in horses is by keeping the horses hooves cleaned and professionally trimmed. The horse must be stalled in a clean and dry area and the thrush treated with a water-based thrush product like Thrush-X . Oil based products should not be used.

∙ 15y agoThere Are 2 Kinds Of Treatments That I Know Of One Is To Buy A Product Called Thrush Buster It's Usually In a Small Container And Is A Bluey/Purple Colour Just Follow The Instructions One The Bottle. Another Would Be Some Diluted Javex Bleach Applied To The Hoof(s) Once A Day For 1-2 Weeks. Thrush Buster Usually Works Much Quicker Though. Addional info added by JustRacey: Clean the foot with a hoof pick, brush out all debris. Then spray medicine on to affected area (I prefer a mix of 1/2 bleach to 1/2 water-- cheap and works pretty fast.)

∙ 12y agoThere is medication for it all over but if you are able to just wash the hoof thoroughly and keep it clean then that will make a world of difference. Oh and do not put javex or bleach on it!

What is thrust for a horse?
I think you mean Thrush. Thrush is a fungus or infection that grows in the horse's hoof when the hooves are not properly cleaned on a regular basis and/or the horse is left to stand in a wet, soggy area with no dry land and no way to care for its hooves. Your local vet, stores like TSC (Tractor Supply Comapany), PetSmart, and many other animal care stores can provide you with a product called Thrust Buster that works like a charm. I have rasied and trained horses for many years, and I have never seen a case of Thrush that Thrush Buster couldn't handle. (Then again, my horses' hooves were never bad, if you don't see the Thrush infection healing, haul your horse to the local vet.)

What would cause the horses frog to become soft and spongy?
A thrush infection would cause the horses hoof to become soft and spongy, if your horse's hoof has a very bad odour, then that is a sign of a thrush infection. Even if it doesn't have a strong odour it could still be a thrush infection, because the smell is just produced by rotting tissue, and dead bacteria. It would be a good idea to take your horse to a veterinarian. The best way to prevent a thrush infection is to clean out your horses hooves regularly! especially if you have your horse shawed!
