"Look for signs of pain. You can usually tell when a horse has hoof thrush based on the way it walks and reacts when you clean the hoof. A horse afflicted with thrush will show pain whenever pressure is applied to the area, which may result in limping or even lameness in severe cases.\nIn really advanced cases of thrush, the lower limb may swell up in response to the infection. If this happens, you will need to treat the thrush aggressively to ensure that your horse can fully recover.\nThe hind hooves tend to be more afflicted with thrush than the front hooves. However, the front hooves can still contract thrush, and should be thoroughly examined and cleaned any time you suspect there might be a case of thrush."
