NBS HippoBlue “medical” Glue-On Horseshoe: Maximum Stability & Floating Toe The handcrafted NBS HippoBlue “medical” glue-on horseshoe combines the high structural stability of our white HippoBlue “medical” synthetic material with a specially designed “floating” toe (Natural Balance). As a gentle, nail-free alternative to traditional metal horseshoes, it provides noticeable relief to the hoof wall and the deep digital flexor tendon, facilitates a smooth breakover, and ensures a secure fit—making it ideal for orthopedic corrections, rehabilitation, and heavy horses. Benefits of the NBS HippoBlue “medical” • Floating Toe (Natural Balance): Reduces pressure on the anterior hoof wall, the toe, and the deep digital flexor tendon while optimizing the breakover point—proven effective for rehabilitation, navicular syndrome, long-toe issues, or as a supportive corrective shoe. • Rigid, Dimensionally Stable Synthetic Material (White): Significantly harder than the “ice-blue” version. Offers high torsional stiffness, making it suitable for corrective shoeing, compromised hoof walls, heavy horses, or for use in combination with hoof pads. • A True Nail-Free Alternative: Provides a painless, shock-free attachment—no hammering required, and no additional nail holes in sensitive hoof walls. • Individually Handcrafted: Each shoe is carefully made by hand in our workshop upon receipt of your order. Versatile application: Glue-on shoe with adhesive tabs or for nailing • As a glue-on shoe: The NBS HippoBlue "medical" can be permanently bonded to the hoof wall—without the use of any nails—by using a heat gun to attach original THH adhesive tabs, rbCarbon adhesive collars, or Wolf Busch adhesive tabs. • Also suitable for traditional nailing: This shoe is equally well-suited for farriers to apply using conventional nailing methods.
