Part 3 – Sulcus Thrush – The Solution (How to treat it properly.”

Here at Four Oaks Farm Sport Horse Rehabilitation and Recovery Centre we have seen countless sport horses lose their jobs because of recurring soundness problems, and so often those problems can be completely avoided if we as horse owners know what to look for.
