Had a draft horse with a cracked hoof wall that kept splitting higher up.

I tried a trick from a guy in Kentucky where you drill a tiny hole at the top of the crack to stop it from traveling, then fill it with super glue and baking soda. It held solid for the six weeks it took the hoof to grow out. Anyone else use this method on bad wall cracks?

Oh, that's a classic fix. Just a heads up, most farriers will tell you to use acrylic or a proper hoof patch instead of super glue.

Actually, a lot of farriers I know will use super glue for small cracks or quick fixes in a pinch. The acrylic or patch is definitely the better, longer-lasting fix for a bigger problem, but super glue has its place in the toolbox.
