#horses - #White Line Disease


White Line Disease

Unfortunately both of my boys have white line disease but it only seems to be in their front hooves. I'm not a huge fan of my current farrier and I am in the process of looking for a new one. Does any one have any suggestions as far as long term care depending on how severe it is and preventative care to hopefully stop it from happening again? Currently they are bare foot in a large hilly pasture with gravel in and around their stalls. The pasture has some plush grass areas but it's mostly a rocky/dirty area. Aside from thoroughly cleaning they're hooves and soaking them in white lightning what else should we do? Do they need some type of shoe until their hooves heal? Or do they need shoes after their hooves get back to normal?

Sorry for all the questions. Google seemed to raise more questions than it answered so I wanted get y'all opinion on the matter. Thanks!
