I just got my girls feet done last night and the farrier told me that both have thrush (which I figured as much) but also the beginning of White Line.

CleanTrax solution is “active” for a full 90 minutes, you can safely reuse the solution during its active time i.e. you can use the same solution to soak two hooves consecutively on a 45 minute soak.

After soaking, DO NOT RINSE OR DRY THE HOOF. Put an empty plastic bag over the hoof and close the top. Allow the vapours to penetrate for 45 minutes.
