REHE HippoBlue “medical” Glue-On Horseshoe: Pain-Free Relief for Laminitis—No Nails Required In cases of acute or chronic laminitis, every hammer blow causes agony, and the anterior hoof wall is often severely weakened. Our handcrafted REHE HippoBlue “medical” glue-on shoe offers a gentle, nail-free alternative to traditional horseshoes. It is attached entirely without vibration or impact, using our adhesive tab system to bond the shoe to the structurally sound lateral and heel walls of the hoof. Open-Toe Design & Customizable Balance Bar—Tailored for the Laminitic Hoof Constructed from durable, dimensionally stable HippoBlue “medical” synthetic material, this shoe is custom-crafted to meet your horse’s specific needs: • Open-toe design: The toe wall remains completely free and suspended, preventing painful leverage forces on the front of the hoof wall and facilitating an easier break-over. • Balance bar—available in two configurations: • Balance bar in the original position: Ideal for providing support; if necessary, it can be hollowed out from the inside and cushioned with hoof packing to precisely avoid pressure on specific areas. • Balance bar shifted toward the rear: Recommended to reliably prevent any pressure on the tip of the coffin bone (distal phalanx) in cases where it has sunk or rotated. • Sturdy, load-bearing synthetic material (white): Provides stable support for the hoof and protects the sensitive sole during the rehabilitation phase. Versatile application: Glue-on shoe with adhesive tabs or for nailing • As a glue-on shoe: The REHE glue-on shoe can be permanently bonded to original THH adhesive tabs, rbCarbon adhesive collars, or Wolf Busch adhesive tabs using a hot-air gun, allowing for a completely painless application to the prepared hoof. • Also suitable for nailing by a farrier: If the hoof wall is sufficiently stable, the shoe can also be nailed in the rear section by a farrier, if desired.
