DEALING WITH HOOF CRACKS

BY HEATHER SMITH THOMAS

orses get hoof cracks from several causes. Some are

Hmore serious than others and might take more effort to resolve. Tommy Boudreau, a certifed farrier in Mineral Wells, Texas, says hoof cracks can be due to dry feet, a foot’s being out of balance, or a blow to the coronary band.

“If there is enough damage to compromise horn-growing cells at the coronary band, there may be weaker horn at that area, which can crack,” he said.

“If there’s not enough blood supply in the damaged area that took the blow, this can cause a crack. If a horse overreaches and hits the coronary band, it’s usually somewhere in the area between the region of the heel nail and the buttress—the back part of the foot.”

Quarter cracks occur in the rear third of the hoof and can be either proximal (along the side) or distal (more toward the rear). Many quarter cracks originate at the ground surface on the side of the hoof, usually about the middle of the quarter. Others begin at the coronary band at the top of the hoof wall. Tey often cause lameness and can be challenging to fx.

Jeremiah Sprague, a farrier in Indiana, says the ones that start in the coronary band, traveling down the hoof wall, are common and usually the most serious because they extend deep into the hoof, leading to instability, infammation, and sometimes infection.

Te vertical movement of the heel bulb complicates the instability. If the horse has a short shoe that doesn’t give much support to the heel, or long toes and a low heel, this puts even more pressure on the heel and the hoof wall becomes thinner at the heels.

“When the horse puts all that pressure on the heel, it will crack,” Sprague said. “A longer shoe, supporting more of the heel area, will help that problem.”

Sometimes imbalance of the hoof or poor conformation that creates an abnormal landing pattern, with the horse landing harder on one side of the foot than the other, can lead to a quarter crack. Tis might be due to the horse’s toeing in or toeing out, or having the foot too long, creating an imbalanced hoof.

Te hoof needs to be properly balanced when trimmed, with adequate support at the rear of the foot when shod.

“Often this will fx it, putting more support on the frog—perhaps packing it with something and using a pad, to put the weight on the frog instead of on the hoof wall that’s cracked,” said Sprague.

Some horses are born with or develop an imbalance where one heel bulb is a little higher than the other, which can lead to sheared heels and quarter cracks.

“One way to help correct the problem is that when I’m shoeing the horse, I take that shoe of frst, trimming that cracked side, notching it out so the hoof wall is shorter—from the heel and past the quarter crack,” said Sprague. “Ten I let the horse stand on that foot while I do the other three feet. Tis puts more weight on that foot, which will drop the heel bulb down, on that high side—and it drops fast. It’s amazing how much it can drop just in the time it takes to shoe the other three feet.”

Tere is nothing there to hold that side of the wall up, with it trimmed away, and the weight of the horse pushes it down where it should be. Ten when that foot is shod, with support for the frog and a space left under the cracked area, the weight of the horse continues to help keep that heel bulb pressed down.

Very few horses are blessed with perfect foot conformation. Many toe in or out and develop a fare and thinner, weaker hoof wall on one side. Tus, it’s not as easy to prevent a quarter crack unless the hoof is perfectly balanced each time it is trimmed and shod.

If the coronary band is compromised, Boudreau suggests applying a good hoof dressing to keep the coronary band as supple as you can.

“Ten, hopefully, the crack won’t get too bad,” he said. “You also want to make sure the feet are in balance, landing level. You don’t want any extra pressure on any one part of the hoof wall.

“When the hoof is out of balance, it creates too much pressure on one side of the hoof capsule. Tis will push into the coronary band and cause it to jam up. With all the extra pressure in one spot on that side of the foot, it can make it break out and crack.”

“Too much pressure on one part of the coronary band can also lead to a lack of blood supply in that spot, and a less healthy foot in that area. Treatment for these problems includes making sure the foot is in balance and keeping the coronary band supple.

“On many of these problems, I use a heart bar shoe with a tongue that rests against the frog, to help take more of the pressure and weight,” said Boudreau. “Tis supports a good portion of

the weight that would normally be on the heels. Before I tack on the shoe, I make a notch or trim of a little of the hoof wall in that area, so it doesn’t touch the shoe— leaving a tiny space between shoe and hoof—from the quarter crack back to the heel of the shoe. I don’t want the hoof wall in that area to take any weight, so there won’t be any pressure at all on that part of the wall. “Tat will give the quarter crack a better chance to grow out and heal because you are taking away all the pressure that might otherwise keep spreading it. Tis has proved to be a good treatment for quarter cracks. “You can take that a step further with extra support for the wall. Once you apply the heart bar shoe and have trimmed/notched A laced-together hoof crack will help support the hoof out the heel so there’s no pressure, wall by not allowing the crack to spread any farther you can also consider (in severe cases) putting a patch on the wall, lacing the quarter crack together with a small stainless steel wire. You can then put acrylic over the top of that to stabilize the crack. Ten there will be no movement, and it won’t get worse and can grow out. “When I apply a patch like that, I run it up within a half-inch of the coronary band, supporting as much of the foot as possible. If you apply the patch properly, as the foot grows down you can just keep trimming the patch, just like the hoof wall. If everything works the way it’s supposed to, it will grow of and then you’ll have a strong, healthy foot again.” Most farriers also try to support the hoof wall with a clip or a patch of some kind, to help hold the crack together so it can’t spread anymore. Anything that’s simple, strong, and durable will work, applied to the outside, covering as much of the wall as possible at the quarter. “Acrylic (a strong plastic that can bond GETTY IMAGES to the hoof ) is sometimes used, but a person must be careful not to lock any bacteria inside the crack,” Sprague said. Hoof cracks can be caused by dry feet, a Cleaning it out thoroughly and apfoot’s being out of balance, or a blow to the plying medication into it frst can help coronary band prevent infection.

It’s crucial to provide stability for the heel because you want the foot to land fatter and not have so much movement at the heel.

“Tis may mean taking of a little more toe and having a shorter foot, or shoeing that horse more often so the toes don’t get so long. Tis is usually necessary to get rid of a quarter crack.”

When the hoof starts to get a little too long, especially at the toe, there is always more pressure on the heels.

“You may have to shoe that horse every four weeks a few times until you get the problem cleared up, and then you just have to keep on top of it,” Sprague said.

Boudreau uses pour-in pad material on some of these feet.

“I use the kind that has copper sulfate in it, and it ends up a turquoise color when you put it in the foot,” he said. “A horse with a quarter crack can be shod with a heart bar shoe, and then I use duct tape to block of the area where I’ve trimmed out the hoof wall so the pour-in material can’t get in there under the shoe (between the shoe and the wall). Ten I fll the sole up with the pour-in pad material, and it gives the foot and sole more support and stability so there’s no pressure on the quarter crack and it can grow on out.”

Another type of crack that is fairly common is called a sand crack. Tese are generally any part of the toe area, between 10 o’clock and 2 o’clock on the front part of the wall.

“Some of these can be serious,” said Boudreau. “If you trim the foot and look at the white line, at the site of the crack there will be a little dimple in the white line. What causes this is a dimple in the cofn bone underneath.

“Tis creates a weak spot in the white line, where the inner structures are bonded to the hoof capsule. If a little bit of dirt gets pushed up in that crack, or even one little grain of sand works its way into that crack, it can move up into the sensitive tissue and cause an abscess.

“If that creates an opening into sensitive tissue and the horse is walking in mud, there is contamination and an abscess. On a crack like that, you are taking a chance for an abscess if you don’t address it.”

After trimming the foot, there will still be a little crack in the dorsal wall. Often Boudreau uses an electric dremel tool to clean that all out.

“Sometimes I use nippers, turn them sideways, and just make a little V right there on the ground surface of the toe at that spot,” he said, “and then use a hoof knife to get all the black debris out

of there. If you clean it out really well, before it gets into sensitive tissue, and apply a shoe with side clips, this will usually hold it together. Sometimes, since it hasn’t gotten into sensitive tissue yet, I put a little acrylic in there. Ten it won’t collect dirt and cosmetically looks nicer.

“Often we can get these to grow out. But some horses that have that little dimple in the white line will always have a problem with a toe crack at that spot. It’s a common thing that many people don’t notice—just a little dimple at the white line at the toe. It never becomes a problem for most horses; they generally don’t get a toe crack or need side clips. But occasionally it can become an issue.

“If it’s a horse that’s always worn shoes and the owner decides to pull the shoes and let the horse go barefoot (such as a broodmare at pasture) and I know there’s a little dimple in the toe, I make a mental note. When I trim it the next time, I can make sure there is no crack starting there—since there won’t be a shoe protecting that area.”

Te important thing is to keep feet in balance and the coronary band as supple as possible.

“Good hoof maintenance at appropriate intervals when feet need to be trimmed or reshod is important so feet don’t get too long,” said Boudreau. “We also try to keep feet out of fences because that’s another cause of trauma that might injure the coronary band and create a quarter crack.”

You also want to make sure the feet are in balance landing level. You don’t want any extra pressure on any one part of the hoof wall.”

Hoof cracks can be treated by using a heart bar or any other kind of shoe to support the rest of the foot and by trimming off part of the hoof wall in that area, leaving a gap so that part of the hoof bears no weight until the crack has grown out

These statistics are for active California-based sires with a minimum of 50 foals of racing age, ranked here by their lifetime Average Earnings Index (AEI.) The statistics shown here are compiled by The Jockey Club Information Systems (TJCIS). While every effort is made to prevent errors and omissions, California Thoroughbred cannot guarantee their complete and total accuracy. A dagger (†) indicates a stallion that has been pensioned or has died, a dot (•) that he is now standing elsewhere (sires no longer standing in California remain on these lists until their last Cal-bred crop turns 3 years old). Freshman sires are highlighted in bold text.. Statistics cover racing in North America (U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico), England, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) only. Stakes winners and wins follow TJCIS stakes rules.

Percentages are based upon number of named foals of racing age.
