: I AM TO SHOE A HORSE (NEW CUSTOMER) THIS WEEK WHO HAS BEEN RADIOGRAPHED AND DIAGNOSED BY THE VET AS HAVING NAVICULAR. THE HORSE ALSO HAS A BLEEDING QUARTER CRACK THAT TRAVELS VERTICALLY FROM THE CORONET HALFWAY DOWN THE HOOF BUT DOES NOT REACH THE GROUND. IS THERE A CORRELATION BETWEEN NAVICULAR AND QUARTER CRACKS? I PLAN TO USE TFT NAVICULAR SHOES AND QUARTER CRACK STAPLES TO STABILIZE THE CRACK. ANY SUGGESTIONS? MEG

I would want to have a look see at the radiographs. I would also take a close look at that quarter crack. Most start at the bottom and work up. Unless an injury at the band.
