In the last few years I've become acquainted with the use of ACTIVATED CHARCOAL used for either-or-both internal & external applications ... for toxins, infections, & wounds. My family takes it, & our pets, but we have no horses ... so ... I'm here to share two amazing experiences shared online, with pics:

This horse's wound displayed all signs of having been due to the BITE of a BROWN RECLUSE SPIDER: https://charcoalremedies.com/brown-recluse-spider-bites/

This horse was HIT by a TRUCK, & the local vet refused to come for an animal that they assumed would die anyway ... but ... with long-term treatment with A.C. poultices, he healed up without stitches & went back to carrying children in the orphanage where they live: https://charcoalremedies.com/horse-wounds/

Both horses required many A.C. poultice applications over a period of time ... and, both healed fine!

Charcoal for local application

My horse hurt himself on his coronet, i.e the portion between his hoof and leg. After the usual applications of betedine etc., we applied powdered charcoal and his lameness disappeared within hours. I read this in John Dinsley's book, which I recommend to everyone as it contains a wealth of info on the various remedies of charcoal.
