Farrier Review: Glushu help for laminitis.

Laminitis is one of the most challenging hoof conditions horse owners and farriers face. When a horse suffers from laminitis, the pain and damage to the hoof can be severe, often requiring careful management and innovative treatment approaches. Recently, expert farrier Kristof Piette shared how Glushu helped a laminitic horse make significant progress during recovery.

From Kristof Piette

“ Recently I was called out to treat laminitis in this Haflinger. It had already been on medication for a month and a half and unfortunately there was no improvement.

I decided to use an inverted GluShu. I created a rocker profile using Super Fast (30-second set time) and bonded it to the underside.

The horse was immediately much more comfortable as soon as the Glushu was applied.”

How Glushu Supports Laminitis Recovery

Glushu is designed to provide targeted support to the hoof, helping to redistribute pressure and encourage proper hoof mechanics during recovery. Kristof used an inverted Glushu application combined with a rocker profile created using Super Fast adhesive, which sets in 30 seconds. This setup was bonded to the underside of the hoof, aiming to relieve stress on the damaged laminae.

The rocker profile helps the horse roll through its stride more comfortably, reducing pain and promoting better hoof function. This approach can be especially useful when medication alone does not produce the desired results.
