That week in March where every horse seemed to have a hoof crack
I had three different horses in the same week, all from different barns around Lexington, come in with quarter cracks on the same front foot. It was wild. The vet at Bluegrass Equine said the sudden temperature swings from our weird spring weather likely caused it. Anyone else see a spike in specific hoof issues with the changing seasons?

Check your horses' feet more often when the weather shifts. I keep a close eye for any new lines or changes in texture, especially around the quarters. Catching a crack early makes all the difference.

That vet theory is a popular one, but I've always seen more cracks in a dry spell than from a quick cold snap.
