A common cause for lameness and decreased ability in horses is quarter crack. Quarter cracks usually begin at the coronary band and continue distally, or away from the point of attachment. When quarter cracks extend into the dermis of the hoof, they can lead to instability, inflammation and infection. Infected quarter cracks are very painful; instability caused by movement of the hoof wall posterior to the crack can be an added source of discomfort. The vertical movement of the heel bulb on the side with the quarter crack compounds the instability. It crucial to horse health and well-being to find and effective quarter crack repair method.
