i dont know if this is thr right spot to post. if not move it or delete it.
my horses have been standing in mud since christmas eve (yay flooding!) i put an entire bail of straw in negras stall (about a 16x12 space under her shelter). and split a bail in rockets, odies and nottys stalls since their stalls where not as wet. well Arizona keeps getting rain and we are not drying out yet so they may not be sinking in the mud but there is not a dry spot either. i filled my truck with shaving and filled the 4 stalls (fonts only) and it hardly made a dent in the wet. they now all have thrush that is all but impossible to treat with it all being wet. what do people in wet muddy areas do? how do your horses handle being in mud for long periods? im worried about hoof issues. considering the least wet areas are the spots they like to stand in AND pee in so it not just water.
