Location: Pacific Northwest | Never dealt with it before but one of the horses has it in all four feet. He has worn shoes his whole life and was diagnosed "navicular " about 10 years ago (he's 23 now). I have two horses that go barefoot and I had to have my trimmer come pull his shoes and trim him yesterday because for the second time my farrier (I used one person for shod horses and a barefoot trimmer for the unshod ones) has taken weeks to return my texts and calls. From his toes getting so long he was literally crippled, like thought he was foundering crippled.
I read that white line disease can be caused by poorly balanced feet and a fungus that takes advantage of that. What should I use to treat it?
Luckily my trimmer specializes in problem feet, so I have no doubt she can fix that part of it. |

I would ask your tirmmer since she specializes with problem feet I'm sure she should beable to tell you what you need to use on your horse since she just her feet. |

She recommended apple cider vinegar. I was going to try it but I'm not sold on ACV being the miracle worker everyone thinks it is.  |

| Contact Hawthorne Products. They have a few iodine based products and I have had great experience with using them for white line! |

Location: Opelousas, LA | White Lightning, I think it works just as well as CleanTrax and much cheaper. If you can get used 3 liter IV fluid bags from your vet, those work great for soaking feet, otherwise the hoof soaking bags from the same company that makes the WL (Grand Circut) work just fine too. I use WL a little different than the instructions on the bottle and it saves a little product, PM me if you want to. |

White line disease?
