Quarter crack repair

Curious, How come no drain or thermal barrier ?

[SwedishHoofSchool]

When I work on hooves like this I prefer to find the real reason for the crack (which always is an imbalance in the hoof capsule) and correct it by trimming. My experience is that quarter crack comes from the bars. High heels and large bars make the back part of the hoof very stiff compared to the front part and the hoof wall brakes in between. By lowering the heels and bringing the bars back where they belong the crack stops moving and heals by it self.

This is very similar to how you fix a turtle with a smashed carapace :D

After watching this video, we used this method and product to repair a crack in our horse's hoof that she had for a couple of years. It worked wonders. We are now using the same method on our other horse that had an injury just above the hairline that traveled down into her hoof. Thank you Ian, great video and product.

Amazing!

You are a bearer of false gifts. You are doing the exact opposite of healing that horse. You are practicing the dark art of pinching off the digital arteries. So the horse 'appears' to be healing. It is a false gift! If the horse will let you know when you have gone too far, then you are not listening. Exactly my point, you are getting the horse through a race at the expense of it's health. Money and the Ego are the concern here. Not the health and healing of the horse and ultimately mankind.

This is so interesting! I never had the slightest idea on how to treat this on a horse.

[hoofrise]

@dsigala2 And you still don't.

[gatofrisco]

Wow, that was a great job.

[hoofrise]

@gatofrisco Yes, but a great job at what is the question.

[SpudGunExtreme]

Wow, I stumbled on this video and was truly amazed. I know nothing about horses. Seems so common sense. However, this is probably a really big deal. Great job! awsome work. Nice narration.

[hoofrise]

@SpudGunExtreme You are just taking a guess though right?

[eventerkatie84]

[hoofrise]

[farrierlinlithgow]

[min54teresa]

Fricken brilliant.

[hollywoodstitch]

what do you use for glues

[tnhorseshoer]

what kind of drill and bit do you use

[achternaam]

its not a drill its a nail with a angled tip

[fuzzyb29]

This was a great video..The only thing I would do different would be to use an eggbar shoe, roll the heel of the crack so that it did not touch the shoe and let the bar rest on the frog.This would provide alittle more stabilization for the compromized area.This is only my opinion and loved the over-all video and will apply some of the techniques used.

[BarnBum93]

what was that purple stuff?

[gerbilb]

looks like thrush buster to me... i think they put it there to help prevent any infections

[mdjidara]

If you don't remove shoes it will appear again sooner or later beacause of the contracted heels which are making pressure on the quarter and that's why it cracks.

[ino89777]

you no my horse had the same thing! thanks fore the post

[RedDEIFan]

thanks 4 posting

[ihmckin]

We are actually looking into a superior glue to this, I've tried it on a couple of horses and it holds even tighter

[davidkozelsky]

What glue do you use there? Thanks
