A medium and a method for filling or replacing the horn wall or horny parts of the coffin of the hoof of an animal, particularly a horse, the medium consisting of a mixture of a plurality of components, of which one is a synthetic resin and another consists of filler particles such as wood, rubber, cork or a combination of filler particles, the mixture being adapted to be cured by the addition of a hardening catalyst and optionally an accelerator, and the method comprising first freeing the horse's hoof of the parts which are to be replaced, whereupon the shoe is placed under the hoof with the nails already in the correct desired positions, the whole area there being degreased, for example with acetone, thereupon all holes being liberally filled with a medium which hardens in the course of time, the outer surface then being finished after the filling medium has become touch-hard.
