Laminitis can turn a routine trim into a careful rescue job. When the foot is too painful, unstable, or compromised to trim in the usual way, the farrier has to think about support first, then correction. Thank you to expert farrier Bart Lambert who shared how they used Glushu for a horse suffering from laminitis, with the goal of supporting the foot, helping derotation, and giving the hoof enough time to grow back into a trimmable state.

A horse with tender soles does not need to be “a little footsore” for long before every step starts to matter. Thin sole, a stretched toe, and heels running forward can all change how the hoof loads. Left alone, that cycle can make the horse reluctant to move, harder to trim, and slower to recover healthy hoof shape. Thank you to the expert farriers at Huf-Reha Team for sharing how they utilised Glushu to help a foot sore horse. From Huf-Reha Team “Hey all, just a quick repor

Some hoof problems leave no room for the usual plan. When the hoof wall is too weak, broken, thin, or compromised to hold nails, a farrier cannot simply “make it work” and hope for the best. Every nail hole matters. Every bit of pressure matters. The goal shifts from routine shoeing to careful protection. Thank you to the expert farriers at Diamond C Performance Horses, who shared their story of when they recently used Glushu when nailing was not an option. From Diamond C Per

A horse coming back from acute laminitis needs every step to count. The first walks after a painful episode are not just about movement, they are about comfort, support, and protecting the hoof while damaged structures begin to recover. That is why we were so pleased to hear from the expert farriers at Huf-Reha Team, who shared how they used Glushu as part of the recovery plan for one of their horses after a bout of acute laminitis. We look forward to seeing their updates ove

Some horses want to run, but their feet make the decision harder. Speed, balance, traction, and confidence all meet at the hoof. When traditional nailed-on shoes will not stay on, every run can feel like a compromise. That was the situation horse owner Talia Reese faced with her rodeo horse. His hooves would not hold nails, even after repeated efforts to improve the amount and quality of foot available for shoeing. He was not performing like himself. He was not running hard.

Laminitis is difficult enough on its own. Add a solar abscess after the laminitic episode, and hoof care becomes a careful balance between protection, comfort, timing, and restraint. Thanks to expert farrier Tom Clothier, who shared how he used Glushu in a challenging case involving laminitis followed by a solar abscess. His account is useful because it shows what often matters most in difficult hoof recovery: keeping the horse comfortable, protecting vulnerable structures, a

Thoroughbreds can be demanding horses to shoe, especially when they are in race training or returning to regular work. Their feet take repeated loading at speed, and any weakness in the hoof wall can make standard nailing or some adhesive applications more difficult. That was the problem Richard Eubanks faced with a nine-year-old Thoroughbred whose feet had been an issue for about five years. Richard and farrier Efrain Alarcon chose Glushu to solve the horses problems. From R

Laminitis creates a difficult hoof-care balance. A horse may need extra protection and support while the hoof recovers, but the owner and farrier may not want to nail on a shoe, especially when the horse is normally barefoot. That was the situation shared by expert farrier Huf Reha Team, who used Glushu as a temporary glue-on option for a barefoot horse dealing with thin soles, laminitis, and sole bruising. From Huf-Reha Team “This is our lovely barefoot client who is having

Supporting a barefoot horse during challenging ground conditions can be tricky. When the ground becomes hard and unforgiving, horses that have transitioned to barefoot may struggle without the protection and clearance that shoes provide. Skyforge Farriery recently shared their experience using Glushu, a glue-on shoe, to offer temporary support without compromising the hoof’s integrity. From Skyforge Farriery: “These aluminium, rubber coated, glue on shoes from Glushu are a gr

Coffin bone rotation is a serious hoof condition that can cause pain and lameness in horses. Supporting a horse through recovery requires careful attention and effective tools. Farrier Ronald Aalders shares his experience using Glushu. From Ronald Aalders: “I have been using Glushu for many years and many hoof conditions for years. My latest client was a horse with a serious rotation of its coffin bone referred to the podiatry department of Tierklinik Lüsche. With GluShus app
