A quarter crack is a vertical split or crack in the hoof wall of a horse, usually occurring in the quarter area, which is located between the toe and the heel. It can result from factors like injury, uneven weight distribution, poor hoof care, or underlying hoof abnormalities. Symptoms include visible cracks, sensitivity, and difficulty walking. Treatment often involves trimming the hoof to remove the damaged area, securing the crack with special shoes or hoof boots, and providing supportive care to help healing. Regular hoof maintenance and proper management are essential to prevent quarter cracks and ensure the overall health of the horse's hooves.
