Finally got a stubborn quarter crack to hold with a new glue method

Had a horse with a quarter crack that kept reopening after three shoeings. I mixed a two-part epoxy with a bit of fiberglass powder and packed it deep before applying the patch. That was six weeks ago and the hoof wall is still solid. What's your go-to for tough cracks that won't stay shut?

Nice! I've used that fiberglass trick too. Try adding a thin wire stitch across the crack before packing it.

Yeah the wire stitch is smart. I mean, that's basically how they fix cracks in concrete, right? Same idea.
