As someone with unmerged caught and cot and with at least a mental, if not
necessarily always fully realized, [w] in "quarter" in all contexts--i.e.,
/kworter/--I'm having trouble imagining the sequences you're describing.
Do you mean you say /kwarter/ horse and /karter/ to one?! (Or maybe you
didn't mean to imply that the merger applies to the vowel in "quarter".)
