What are they?

​

​Glue-on shoes for horses are shoes that are attached to a horse's hoof using a special adhesive. They can be used to protect sore hooves, treat hoof issues, and reduce pressure on the hoof wall. ​

Why are they necessary?

​​

If, for any reason, a shoe cannot be placed on a foot the traditional way, glue on shoes may be a good option. These shoes are bonded to the feet with glue in place of nails. These can reduce pressure on the hoof wall, protect sore hooves, and can reduce concussion on hard surfaces. These can also treat hoof issues like thin hoof walls, quarter cracks, and sensitive heels​.
