Glue-on & Synthetic Horse Shoes – Nail-free Hoof Protection from Hoof Experts

glue-on Horse Shoes: A Nail-Free Alternative to Traditional Metal Shoes Modern glue-on horse shoes offer reliable protection against wear on any surface while being exceptionally gentle on the horse's hoof. Instead of driving horseshoe nails into the hoof wall, the synthetic shoe is securely and permanently bonded to the outer hoof wall using a professional adhesive tab system (such as original THH adhesive tabs, rbCarbon, or the Wolf Busch system powered by Duplo). The result is a truly nail-free form of hoof protection that supports the natural hoof mechanism, absorbs shock, and reduces strain on tendons and joints. Our Range of Synthetic Horse Shoes for Sport, Leisure, and Therapy Unlike closed, proprietary systems, we offer a wide selection of field-tested horse shoes in sizes ranging from 60 mm to 160 mm—suitable for everything from small Shetlands to heavy draft horses: • Standard Glue-on Shoes (HippoBlue "ice blue" & Hippoplast): Highly durable, high-traction synthetic shoes designed for daily use—whether on the trail, in the arena, or during the transition from metal shoes to going barefoot. Features like integrated frog support and a visible "white line" make precise fitting easier. • Medical, Rehabilitation, and Laminitis-Specific Shoes: Developed specifically for orthopedic needs. Whether it’s the firmer HippoBlue "medical" (white) for corrective shoeing or heavier horses, the NBS shoe with a "floating" (recessed) toe area, or our specialized laminitis (REHE) shoe—featuring an open toe and an optional, recessed balance bar—we provide the right solution for conditions such as acute or chronic laminitis, navicular syndrome, or compromised/broken-out hoof walls. • Small Hooves & Ponies (WB 3D blueline Pony): Innovative 3D-printed synthetic horseshoes, starting from 60 mm in width—specially designed for the narrow, small hooves of ponies. • Test Sets & Complete Solutions: The perfect way to try out and get familiar with our gluing system. Custom Workshop Services: Tailor-made, welded glue-on shoes Don’t have a heat gun, or simply want to skip the grinding process? In our in-house workshop, we can craft your glue-on shoes based precisely on a sketch of your horse’s hoof. We grind the shoes to the perfect fit and permanently weld them to the appropriate THH glue-on tabs—delivering a hoof protection system that is ready for immediate application. Serving horse owners, hoof care professionals, and farriers since 2004 For over 20 years, we have been developing and testing practical solutions for healthy horse hooves. Our shoes are not only ideal as a nail-free, glue-on alternative to traditional horseshoes, but they can also be applied using conventional nails by a farrier (e.g., HippoBlue and Hippoplast). This ensures that you, your hoof care professional, and your farrier retain every option for achieving optimal hoof balance.
