“One of our farriers sent us this report of a 21-year-old Shetland horse with laminitis and hoof deformation.

A Glushu glue-on shoe with rocker design and heel lift, bonded with Shubond was applied. This was further supported with Shupack Soft for extra comfort.

Simple, functional solution.

Real comfort for the horse.”

Glushu’s glue-on shoes offer several advantages for horses with laminitis:

• Non-invasive application: No nails are needed, reducing the risk of further hoof damage.

• Customizable design: Features like rocker soles and heel lifts can be tailored to individual cases.

• Strong bonding: Shubond adhesive provides a secure hold that lasts through daily activity.

• Comfort-focused: Additional padding options like Shupack Soft improve shock absorption.

  
  

These features make Glushu a valuable tool for farriers and horse owners looking for effective ways to manage laminitis.
