Farrier Report: How 4G Farrier Services Utilized Glushu Glue-On Shoes for a Client with Poor Hoof Growth

Taking care of our equine companions is a fundamental part of horse ownership. A recent success story from 4G Farrier Services illustrates this well, highlighting the impressive results achieved with Glushu glue-on shoes for a horse with a significant hoof growth issue. This case provides hope and strategies for horse owners facing similar challenges.

The star of this story is a thirteen-year-old horse under the care of 4G Farrier Services. Since they began working with her, this horse has faced persistent issues with short hooves, making routine hoof care a challenge. Her feet were consistently so worn down that traditional nail-on shoes were no longer an option. This situation left the horse uncomfortable and at risk, prompting 4G Farrier to explore alternatives.

From 4G Farrier Services:

"This is a regular client of mine. She is about 13 years old. Her feet have been really short since I have known her. It is so problematic that she has had her fronts worn down too far to even get totally flat for nail on shoes.

This horse just doesn't grow a foot. We tried these GluShu shoes to give her a extra comfort and traction. The owner kept an eye on them and scheduled me to come back out at 17 weeks. The horse did spend a fair amount of time in a stall but also was ridden and cart driven on the blacktop.

While most horses shouldn't go 17 weeks between shoeing this one needed the time and there was still minimal foot to trim.

Glushu have shown to be a perfect alternative to traditional nail ons for this horse."

Glushu glue-on shoes have several benefits, including enhanced comfort and better traction on various surfaces. In fact, they can significantly improve the quality of life for horses with compromised hoof growth.

Throughout the trial, the horse demonstrated a remarkable ability to adapt. She was regularly ridden and even cart-driven on blacktop without issues. While traditionally, horses need regular trims, this particular case highlighted how glue-on shoes can effectively support a horse with limited hoof growth. This experience showcases Glushu’s versatility and potential for equines facing similar hoof challenges.

For horse owners, staying informed about new solutions is crucial. If you find yourself dealing with hoof growth issues or other similar problems, consider looking into Glushu shoes. You can order them from the online store or consult with your local farrier supply for availability.
