I have a 2yo pure TB whom every time it rains gets an abcsess either in one or both front feet, any advice as I am at a loss as to what to do, he is currently on box rest as he has another and am thinking of haveing farrier put front shoes on him on his next visit, he generally has good feet which I have trimmed and balanced every 4 to 6 weeks due to the constant problems..... He is normally out 24/7 on good dry grazing (apart from when it rains!)
 
How is his immune system as a whole? If it could do with a boost perhaps Kossolian would help. I'd also seriously think about using something like Formula4 feet which will help improve the quality of hoof no end too.
 
Shoeing will provide holes into hoof, perfect for more abcesses tbh.

I would be looking at general health more closely - something like immuplus abd a decent multi vit will help I would imagine
