In horses: Which ones of the following terms designate a foot disease
The fire heads
Sand crack
Contracted hoof
Bruised sole
Hive
Can be more than one!!
Answers:Ok here is a slightly shorter version:
Sand Crack- a crack or fissure in the hoof of a horse, extending from the coronet downward toward the sole, caused by a dryness of horn. Also called quarter crack.
Contracted hoof- Contracted heels are seen principally in the forefeet of light horses. It may be caused by improper shoeing that draws in the quarters, which prevents hoof expansion and adequate frog pressure
Bruised sole- Ok. simply put is a hematoma of the sole. Lots of ways to get one.

Is the horse hurt in one of the other foots because if it is then it could be lamnatis that is when a horse has one bad foot and stands on the health one
What the hell is a fire head??
None of the conditions you've listed are foot DISEASES.
Cracks, and bruised soles are caused by either impact on a dry ground or rock, or by having unhealthy feet that allows for imperfections.
A contract hoof (I am going to assume you mean contracted heelbulbs), is a conformation defect that horses are usually born with.
Don't know what the heck a hive is either, in reference to hoof.
A disease is a disease of the foot - and the only one I can think of off hand would be white line disease - a chronic condition that actually has the qualities of a disease - it spreads and can cause the hoof to slough off. Navicular can be classified as a disease, too. Nothing you've listed qualifies as a hoof disease.
