Severe quarter crack

[Gabino]

Today I debrided this severe crack. It's very infected. The horse is extremely pain. I put rock and roll shoes, luwex M9 pad and Vet cast bandage.

i think sweeping up for you for a week or so would be well worth the trip... i think one could learn alot ...if the Language barrier was not to much.... keep up the good work and showing us the pics ...Thanks

I think you may find there is more going on with the lameness in the leg of the horse then just the quarter crack alone , the horse all so has thickening round the top of fetlock joint, which would suggest major suspensory ligament injury& damage at some stage in its life time & should be taken in to account with the crack when determining lameness in the limb.

Good looking work. Sometime I need to make a trip down to spend a few days with you. Winter, as it is cold and dark up here.

I had a tinker this past week with a crack similar to that, except it was on the right front(medial). Instead of being pushed up at the hairline as yours, it was pushed in about 5mm or so. The leg was very swollen up to the top of PI. I refused to work on it until they got a vet, got scanned or such so I knew what I was doing.

Five weeks later,the owner has in a hurry. Today I reconstruct the hoof wall with Equilox and fiberglass. The coronet band looks recuperate.

Did you float the heel?

[Gabino]

Yes,sir. The shoeing is the same. Rock and roll shoe and impression dental stuff with floating heel.

Gambino,
With that under wrung heel, any length of toe is going to put stress on that crack all over again.
I assume you will keep him in shoes with a rocker toe for a long time ?

my 2 cents worth

Bruce,you are right. The horse is 18 old and have another problems.Probably it keep rock and roll or NBS the rest of their life. My last notice is the horse is jumping well.
