Split/hole (bifurcation?)in middle (only) of front wall of hoof-what is this?

One of my buyers sent me a picture of their 4h pig (fair starts next Thursday). They washed him for the first time this week and found a hole the front of his hoof wall in BOTH back feet. He isn't lame or sore from what she can tell. The hole appears to be in the middle with both ends closes. I can not figure out how to attach an image for you all. It is like a bifurcation mid wall but then comes back together. The hole doesn't go all the way through the hoof. Would love to send some one a picture.
