Pour all the CleanTrax solution into a CleanTrax hoof boot, a reinforced plastic bag, or a tall medicating boot. Posted on Wednesday, Nov 8, 2006 - 7:46 am: Oxychlorosene has been around human medicine for many years and has many desirable properties for treating hoof horn infections that involve sensitive tissue. However it is not clearly better than povidone (Betadine) which is much cheaper and easier to handle. It is probably not as good as formaldehyde for WLD or thrush that does not involve sensitive tissue. However I do not know of any clear comparisons so concede this remains open to question. I have to wait until my horse's scheduled farrier visits to have his shoe removed, then I soak it for 20 minutes while my farrier finishes trimming his other three feet. But to me it looks like the stuff works! My barefoot trimmer swears by it. I know you go barefoot, too. What is it in New Jersey this year that I am hearing about so many hoof problems?

If your trainer has any clamps or tension knobs, like on a wheel on trainer, a dab of dry chain lube every few months will do wonders for keeping it turning smoothly and preventing surface rust.

Cleantrax - I'd like to sort the white line issues asap, and have been recommended a cleantrax soak to hit the fungal infection. CleanTrax is a deep penetrating hoof cleanser proven effective in eliminating even the toughest infections, in most case with just a single application but it’s more than just an animal treatment, CleanTrax was developed by a leading U.S. chemical company using the same unique chemcial formula as they use on (and in) human patients. While it is used to treat deep-seated fungal infections in humans what most people don’t realise is that it’s primary use is to irrigate surgeries and open wounds to eliminate the risk of secondary infections in humans. How many hoof soaks can you say that about? Store the bottle in a refrigerator or a cool, dry place. Do not leave it in the sun or expose to heat Store the bottle in a refrigerator or a cool dry place. DO NOT leave it in the sun or expose to heat.

He lives out now, but spends maybe 6 hours on hard ground eating hay. So, when it’s dry, his feet get that chance to dry, but not when it’s been raining (he actively avoids the field shelter). The pasture has very little mud, but he does have a habit of using only the muddiest paths to get from field to field. After soaking, DO NOT RINSE OR DRY THE HOOF. Put an empty plastic bag over the hoof and close the top. Allow the vapours to penetrate for 45 minues. Theoretically, treatment for white line disease should be simple — kill infection-causing bacteria and fungi. In reality, treating white line disease can be far more complicated.After soaking DO NOT RINSE OR DRY THE HOOF. Put an empty plastic bag over the hoof and close the top. Allow the vapors to penetrate for 45 minutes. Immerse the hoof completely into the CleanTrax solution. If using a bag, pull it up above the knee and tie/or tape it closed. (Vetrap works well for this). To protect the horse’s feet and keep them free of infection, CleanTrax can be used preventatively soaking each hoof for 20 minutes every 3 to 4 months. I am currently working on a horse which had been so 'interestingly' shod that it would appear that the lamella attachment was slowly being torn (probably with every step). The hoof wall shows hundreds of the finest/thinest event lines. The shoes were a different shape to the feet and were IMO much too big - the hoof wall had been grown long and then 'bent' out to fit. There is a theory doing the rounds in this area that modern hooves are too small so the foot needs to be stretched bigger.
