ABSTRACT:
A kit which can be used to form a horseshoe, which can be assembled by a farrier in the field, and which can be applied to a horse using adhesives. Specifically, a kit is provided including a rigid cast polymeric sole or a horseshoe, and a rigid planar member for attachment to the sole. A hoof contacting layer (cuff) including a skirt extending therefrom is also provided. The sole, planar member, and hoof contacting layer all include a heat activated thermoplastic urethane adhesive. The kit can also include layers of shock-attenuating material also coated with the adhesive. Such shock-attenuating material may be wedge shaped. Alternatively, additional layers of rigid wedge-shaped material may be added as necessary to produce a shoe with the desired shape. Since the adhesive is heat activated thermoplastic urethane adhesive, a farrier can heat the layers in the field to activate the adhesive and glue the shoe together.
