Spent a whole morning on a quarter crack that looked simple

Had a client's horse in Salem with a small quarter crack on the left hind. Figured it would be a quick patch job, maybe an hour. Ended up taking nearly 4 hours because the crack went way deeper than it looked and I had to do a full bar shoe with a plate. Anyone else had a crack that fooled them like that?

Ever had one where the crack was basically just the tip of the iceberg? Those hidden ones are the worst because you think you're set up for a quick fix and then your whole afternoon is gone. Makes you second-guess every simple-looking job now.

That Salem job had a crack running halfway up the pastern.
