How often do you change the poutice?
How long do you poutice after the dressing is clear?
Stinking black stuff came out yesterday less today.
 
Definitely keep wet poulticing as long as anything is coming out onto the poultice. I do once a day, only because the horses live out and its impractical to be staggering around a wet field in the dark with poultice gear ;) Twice a day while getting it to drain would probably be better, but once a day seems to do it.

Once no more black stuff appears on poultice, I usually dry poultice for a couple of days to help the hoof dry up.
