hello. hope you can answer this question. is this THRUSH on this horse hoof?

Answer
Rohit,
  It could be. If it is, there will a very strong unpleasant odor. Kopertox or formaldehyde are both excellent for getting rid of thrush, just be very careful not to get any in the horse's heel or coronary band.  And of course, the stall must be kept very clean and the horse's hooves need to be cleaned out at least once a day.
