Abscess doctoring with epsom salt, adding some water to make it a paste consistency. Then applied the paste to the diaper and then wrapped it in duct tape and securing it on the hoof. The horse will wear it until it falls off which is about three days. The remaining wrap is easily removed by carefully cutting it off with bandage scissors. This pulls out infection and dries out the pocket that the abscess created.

I specialize in problem horses, youngsters, horse rehabilitation and achieving softness and a better relationship between horse and their rider. I not only train horses but humans as well. Not your typical riding lesson but I can, if you so choose, teach you to train your horse!
I’m always available to help answer questions or share photos or videos upon request to better illustrate my advice.
I’ve mastered the “don’t break the bank” way of keeping your horse healthy and cared for while on a budget.
If you walk into almost any large barn in Oregon you’re bound to meet a horse I trained or sold! I’ve trained over 623 horses and counting! I post updates as I receive them from clients and buyers.
Thank you for taking the time to browse and hopefully learn something new!
