Your vet or farrier will usually be able to find the abscess using hoof testers and release infection by making a discreet drainage hole, the shoe should be removed so as the foot can be soaked in a hot bath, twice daily, using Epsom salts a generous handful to 5 or 6 L of hot water.
The drainage hole should be syringed out with hydrogen peroxide, and then poultice using plugs, of cotton wool soaked in castor oil, and the whole foot bandaged to prevent dirt from entering.

Thank you, I have recently been searching for information about this topic for ages and yours is the best I have discovered so far.
When I realized that my farrier wasn’t doing the best job possible, it became obvious that I needed to know more about hoof care and what a good trim was. This book was a big help in doing that. And I got a new farrier who is doing a much better job for my horse and her long term soundness.
