Quarter crack horse shoeing

Quarter crack horse shoeing - Good foundations
Initially - as in all shoeing - the trimming of the hoof must be done carefully and precisely. The correct balance of the hoof and relevant axes must be established and maintained.

Quarter crack horse shoeing - Corrective and Orthopaedic Shoeing
In shoeing for equine quarter cracks, each hoof is shod according to the situation it presents. Consider

    • Severity of the quarter crack
    • morphology of the horse
    • structure of the individual hoof



Basic strategies for shoeing a horse with a quarter crack can include:


    • The hoof wall trimmed away below the crack - removes contact with and resultant movement/pressure from the shoe.

    • A bar shoe - bars on the shoes placed in the optimum position for support and immobilisation of the hoof wall

    • Natural balance type shoes to assist in breakover, and reduce pressure on the quarters

    • Luwex® pads with support composites (above R) to help in stabilisation of the hoof wall, weight distribution and support.
