Farrier Review: Glushu for hoof confinement
Hoof confinement is a complex challenge for farriers and horse owners alike. Traditional methods often fall short when it comes to making precise adjustments that improve a horse’s biomechanics and comfort. Expert farrier Bart Lambert shares how using Glushu glue has transformed his approach to treating horses with hoof confinement, offering new possibilities beyond simple brackets or nails.
From Bart Lambert :
“Hoof confinement is a delicate treatment. As a blacksmith, it requires constant adjustments to each fittings and improving the biomechanics of the horse.
Sometimes this cannot be achieved with a simple bracket. Adhesive fittings and certainly GluShu offers many possibilities to make adjustments.
Like custom making a banana shoe. Filled with a 2 degree wedge from Glue-u Adhesives and support from shudim air from Podi Artist only entirely behind COR. Also finished according to a 4 point trim!.”
How Glushu Glue Enhances Farrier Work
✅ Custom Fit: Glushu enables the creation of custom shoes, such as a banana shoe filled with a 2-degree wedge. This precise shaping helps correct alignment issues and supports the hoof in a way that standard shoes cannot.
✅ Biomechanical Support: By combining Glushu glue with materials like shudim air from Podi Artist, farriers can place support entirely behind the center of rotation (COR). This positioning improves the horse’s balance and reduces strain.
✅ Improved Adjustments: Adhesive fittings allow for ongoing modifications without damaging the hoof. This flexibility is crucial for horses undergoing treatment, as their needs may change over time.
✅ Trim Compatibility: Glushu works well with a 4-point trim, ensuring that the shoe fits perfectly and supports the hoof’s natural shape.
