Hello all,
I'm looking for a translation of the English term ´brittle hooves´ in Spanish (Spain). The term is found in a list of conditions that can be treated using equine hydrotherapy in a scientific brochure. So far, I have a few ideas - pezuñas frágiles, pezuñas debiles, pezuñas quebradizos... but I´m not convinced enough by any of them. Would be great if someone could give me a helping hand.
Thank you in advance!

: el casco resquebrajado puede ser resultado de un casco quebradizo, o el animal puede haber sufrido un accidente que le resquebrajó el caso. Quebradizo es más inclusivo.
