Farrier Report: Glushu for thin walls and soles.

Hoof problems like thin walls and soles can cause ongoing challenges for horses and their owners. When traditional nailing methods fail, finding an alternative that keeps shoes secure and horses comfortable becomes essential. Farrier Leif Thompson of Forging Forward LLC recently shared a compelling example of how Glushu glue-on horseshoes provided a practical solution for a horse struggling with these exact issues.

From Forging Forward LLC

“My name is Leif Thompson with Forging Forward LLC. This is a recent client of ours who was a good candidate for Glushu glue on horse shoes.

This horse is a classic case of thin walls and thin sole. Due to this they repeatedly lost nail on shoes.

We applied Glushu and he is yet to throw a shoe.

He is also much more comfortable with Glushu despite his sensitive soles. Both horse and owner are very happy.”

How Glushu Made a Difference

After applying Glushu shoes, the horse has not lost a single shoe. This is a significant improvement compared to the previous nail-on shoes that frequently came off. The glue-on method provides a strong bond that holds the shoe firmly in place, even on thin walls and soles.

The horse also shows increased comfort. Sensitive soles can make shoeing a painful experience, but the Glushu application distributes pressure more evenly and avoids the trauma caused by nails. Both the horse and owner have expressed satisfaction with the results, highlighting the positive impact on the horse’s well-being.

Benefits of Using Glushu for Similar Cases

• Secure attachment without nails  

  Glushu bonds directly to the hoof, eliminating the risk of nail holes weakening the hoof wall.

• Improved comfort for sensitive hooves  

  The glue-on shoes reduce pressure points and protect thin soles.

• Reduced shoe loss  

  Horses with fragile hooves maintain their shoes longer, reducing farrier visits and downtime.
