Appreciation post for the old timer who taught me how to read a hoof wall at the Dexter fair last summer
He just pointed at a quarter crack and said 'look at the stress lines before you grab your knife, son' and it saved me a good 40 minutes of guesswork on a tricky draft horse last Wednesday, anyone else had an old hand drop some simple wisdom that stuck with you?

Man that's some real old school wisdom right there. Did he show you how to read the stress cracks before they even split open or was it more about knowing which way the hoof was already trying to go?
