hippoBlue "Ice Blue" Glue-On Horseshoe: Flexible, Abrasion-Resistant Hoof Protection – No Nails Required The HippoBlue "Ice Blue" is our elastic, slightly softer synthetic horseshoe variant. It was developed by hoof care experts specifically for healthy equine hooves, leisure and trail riding, and the transition to a barefoot lifestyle. As a true nail-free alternative to traditional metal horseshoes, it reliably protects the hoof from excessive wear, provides noticeable shock absorption, and preserves the natural hoof mechanism. Benefits of the HippoBlue "Ice Blue" Synthetic Horseshoe • Highly Abrasion-Resistant & Durable: Crafted from a specially selected, high-quality TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane), this horseshoe offers excellent traction on asphalt, gravel, grass, and arena surfaces—lasting throughout the entire shoeing period. • Visible White Line: The transparent "Ice Blue" material ensures the hoof’s white line remains clearly visible during fitting, making precise trimming and accurate positioning much easier. • Integrated Frog Support & Optional Bar: The built-in frog support actively bears weight and distributes it evenly. An optional bar can also be added to provide further support for optimal hoof balance. • Ideal for Barefoot Horses & Transitions: Perfect for providing temporary, nail-free protection to barefoot horses during long-distance rides, competitions, or when navigating sensitive terrain—as well as supporting the transition from metal shoes to a barefoot state. Versatile application: Glue-on shoe—use with adhesive tabs or by nailing • As a glue-on shoe: The "ice blue" HippoBlue can be permanently bonded to the hoof wall using a heat gun in combination with our THH adhesive tab system (original THH adhesive collar), rbCarbon adhesive tabs, or Wolf Busch adhesive collars—no nails required. • Suitable for traditional nailing: The white line is clearly marked, allowing your farrier to attach the shoe using conventional nails if preferred.
