From Ronald Aalders:

“Glueing when nailing is not an option pretty much applied here. The previous shoeing didn't leave me with another option but to glue. The owner worried about her farrier not being able to copy the glue on, so after the first shoeing the next shoeing package was nailed on. #sigronpodiatry”

How Glushu Works in Complex Cases

Glushu is a strong glue on horse shoe that offers several advantages in complicated hoof care:

• Secure attachment without nails  

  Glushu is completely non invasive reducing the risk of damage caused by or exacerbated by traditional nail on shoes.

• Flexibility for sensitive hooves  

  Glushu can be modified to custom fit the hoof. You can also add frog and pad support for further comfort.

• Durability under various conditions  

  Glushu are an all weather all terrain shoe that will last a regular shoeing cycle.

Ronald’s experience confirms that Glushu can be a practical choice when traditional shoeing methods are limited. By gluing the shoe, he avoided further stress on the hoof and ensured the horse remained comfortable.
