Horse having trouble with quarter crack?

Posted at: 2014-06-09 
So recently the horse I lease has had a quarter crack since the day he came to the farm. It finally has been healing and is closing up. However, a few days ago after being lunged he bled. He did not bleed from the quarter crack on his cornet band, but on the bottom of his hoof. So my trainer had the farrier out to remove his shoe to fine a small but noticeable line of a crack going along the side of his frog. I have never heard or seen of this! The farrier said it would need some time to heal in hopes to recover the entire hoof so simply floated his foot. The vet as well said stall rest. Has anyone dealt with this before? Any ideas of how long this will take to heal? Any treatment? Soaking it in salt and warm water will do not good for him both vet and my trainer said. His hooves are conditioned a lot already. Any way to help him? Thank you
