Nailless Shoeing - Glue-on and Cast Horseshoes

If the hoof wall is damaged and it is not possible to nail-on a horseshoe, or if you choose not to nail-on a horseshoe out of conviction, but a permanent hoof protection is still needed, many opt for a glue-on shoe.

Another type of shoeing that must be mentioned in this context of nail-free shoeing is the cast shoe. We have also developed a system for a 'hoof cast', allowing our horseshoes to be attached to the hoof entirely without nailing or gluing.

We present the individual systems for glue-on shoes and the 'hoof cast' further below.

Glue-on Horseshoes

Horseshoes can be glued directly or indirectly onto the hoof. With direct gluing, the glued shoe is attached to the bearing edge of the hoof; with indirect gluing, the shoe is fixed to the hoof using glue-on tabs or collars. We offer various tabs and collars in our range, which have been developed specifically for the indirect gluing of our horseshoes.

If you opt for a glue-on horseshoe, we recommend our popular Wolf Busch glue-on tabs.

The adhesive collars Profi and Easy also have their fans, but the majority of our customers choose the tabs.

If you are starting with gluing, take a look at our advantageous starter sets.
The larger sets include not only the necessary accessories for gluing but also our welding deviced, which have been specially developed for plastic welding glue-on tabs onto a horseshoes. It was important to us to provide a solution so you can always have an optimal workspace for welding on-site and quickly and reliably create strong weld seams between the shoe and adhesive collar. Since then, the welding devices have become an essential part of our product range.

For glue-on shoes, you can generally use all horseshoes from our range, with the exception of the Arizona. However, we recommend the 'Nailless', which was specifically developed for glueing.

Regardless of which model you use, please remember to remove all knobs in advance to be on the safe side. If the knobs have not yet fully penetrated the hoof horn when gluing, the tabs may be compressed later, which could have a negative effect on the secure hold of the adhesive horseshoe.

Detailed information on the glued application and the specific features of various products for your glue-on shoe can be found on the respective product pages.

Cast Shoes

Another option for a nailless hoof protection is the 'cast horseshoe'. Ww have developed a unique system consisting of cast hooks combined with a cast bandage.

The cast hooks are fixed with screws through the nailling slots of the shoe. The 'cast shoe' is then fixated to the hoof using a cast bandage.

Please note that only composite horseshoes with a metal core can be used with our cast system. Pure synthetic shoes should not be used for this purpose.

All details and special safety instructions regarding the use of our cast system can be found on the product page.
