"Quarter Crack"

This thoroughbred mare suffered from chronic abscesses due to gravel trapped in the coronary band. She was lame several times throughout the year. I cleaned the cavities with a Dremel tool to healthy tissue. I opened the coronary band and removed two gravel pebbles. We used Trush-Off to heal the wound and it did the job amazingly clean and FAST !
I laced the hoof together with surgical steel sutures to stabilize the hoof from movement.
I put a shoe with side clips to help hold the hoof together.
I put a treatment hose to keep so the laminae can be still treat it.
I put a Equilox hot patch mixed with fiberglass fibers to give the mix more strength.
The mare is now 100% sound.
