A new process for attaching a non-metallic shoe to a horse's hoof and for repairing a crack in the hoof. The process involves preheating the hoof and the part to be attached, if any, to about 275 degrees F. and then bonding with a hard paste-type urethane adhesive. The adhesive undergoes a phase change from paste to liquid at the hot surface and thereby produces a highly wetting liquid film that leads to a bond many times stronger than would have otherwise occurred.
