Farrier Report: Glushu for founder (laminitis).

In the world of equine care, addressing health challenges creatively is vital. A standout example of this is the recent use of Glushu glue by farrier Bart Lambert to treat a horse suffering from founder and laminitis.

Understanding Founder and Laminitis

Founder, or laminitis, is a painful condition that impacts a horse's hooves. It involves inflammation of the laminae, leading to significant pain and discomfort. Horses with laminitis often struggle to move, affecting their quality of life. Laminitis is one of the top conditions that can lead to long-term hoof problems if not treated properly.

Glushu Glue: A Gentle Alternative

In this case, Bart opted for Glushu glue over traditional shoeing methods, which can sometimes aggravate the horse's condition. Glushu glue is specifically designed to adhere to the hoof while providing flexibility and support.

By using Glushu, Bart applied a mesh and Shupack soft material beneath the horse’s feet. This combination is effective; it offers cushioning and stability, addressing the horse's immediate needs without additional stress. The ease of application and strong bond of Glushu made this method especially suitable.

From Bart Lambert:

This horse has founder on both feet and was in a lot of discomfort. I have used Glushu for clients in the past and thought this would be a good solution for this client. I use Glushu on clients with laminitis as the shoeing is completely non invasive. You can see in the pictures I also used a mesh and Shupack Soft to support the sole.

This horse is doing so much better and I wholly recommend Glushu for laminitic horses.
