Stones in white line

[scewal]

Well second day barefoot, sound on our in hand walk on the roads!
But we did have rather an impressive collection of gravel / small stones in her white line. I picked them all out, some were quite deep so i applied farriers formula disinfectant. Is there something better available that i should be applying?

Great news re sound.

Re white line - never found the need to treat with anything. Over time if you can grow in a tight white line the problem of stones will disappear.

I always treat with disinfectant { can not remember the name} when the holes are big, as i find if left untreated white line disease will set in.

Thanks for the replies, will use up the left over ff disinfectant then see how it goes.

Mine just gets small stones in now - some are so minute they're difficult to see, but I always try and get them out. Now and again, I just brush some iodine onto them, or some 3% hydrogen peroxide. I've had one abscess in just under 18 months barefoot, but I do tend to use boots on the fronts for on the roads. Anyone any different suggestions for disinfectant solutions?
