How Glushu Glue on Horseshoes Supported a Laminitic Appaloosa: A Farrier's Perspective

Laminitis is a serious condition that poses a significant challenge for horse owners, especially when it affects cherished horses like Appaloosas. In this post, we share an inspiring case in which Warren Torr, a skilled farrier, successfully utilised Glushu glue on horseshoes to help a laminitic Appaloosa find relief and comfort.

Background on the Case

Warren has been managing this Appaloosa’s laminitis using conventional treatments, such as regular shoeing with wide aluminium shoes. Unfortunately, a recent incident where a neighbouring horse chased her into a fence post triggered a severe laminitic episode. Faced with this urgent situation and the need for enhanced support, Warren decided to implement a solution he had previously found successful—Glushu glue on horseshoes.

Glushu is an advanced adhesive specifically designed to secure horseshoes. It provides a flexible but strong bond that is vital for horses requiring extra cushioning and support, particularly in laminitic cases.

Warren applied Glushu to the hoof, and within just three days, noticeable improvements were evident. The Appaloosa, who had previously been in distress, started to show reassuring signs of relief. The combination of Glushu with a heart bar shoe offered additional comfort and stability, catering to the horse's specific needs.

From Warren Torr

"This is my recent Glushu client, a Lamantic Appaloosa. Lamantic I had been treating them in the usual ways including regular shooting with wide aluminium shoes. Things were ok then she was chased into a fence pole by another horse and she had another lamanitic attack.

I have used Glushu in the past for tricky cases and I knew this horse needed extra support than traditional shoeing and chose to use Glushu glue on horse shoes. For this horse we also included a heart bar for extra comfort.

Within 3 days she was no longer in discomfort and the owner was vey happy with her progress. Glushu is a great tool to assist with the treatment of laminitis."

The Appaloosa's swift recovery was a gratifying outcome for Warren and provided immense relief to her owner. According to the owner's account, she was delighted with the progress, noting visible improvements in her horse's overall well-being.
