There are a couple of on-line videos available for viewing from the American Farriers Journal that show how a quarter crack is treated. The quality of lighting in the videos leaves a lot to be desired, however, if you've never seen the process, they're worth watching.

I saw one done last week at Philly Park. I didnt realize how much pain a horse is in when they have these. The blacksmith has to be good to see them. You need to give the horse plenty of time to drain the abcess before sewing the hoof together.
