Wolf Busch BluRe Glue-on Horseshoe: Ultralight 3D-Printed Solution for Laminitis In cases of acute or chronic laminitis, the hoof walls are often severely weakened, and the impact of a hammer during traditional shoeing can be painful for the horse. The BluRe glue-on shoe—produced by Wolf Busch using advanced 3D-printing technology—is specifically designed for hooves affected by laminitis. As an extremely lightweight, nail-free alternative to conventional horseshoes, it is attached to the hoof wall using our adhesive tab system. This process is entirely vibration-free, requiring no nail holes and creating no additional entry points for pathogens. Open-Toe Design & Adjustable Balance Bar The Wolf Busch BluRe laminitis shoe is engineered to relieve pressure on the anterior (front) hoof wall while providing support to the posterior (rear) section of the hoof: • Open-toe design: The toe wall remains completely free and suspended, preventing painful leverage forces from acting on the front hoof wall. • Balance bar with two selectable positions: • Standard position: If necessary, the bar can be hollowed out from the inside and filled with a durable, elastic hoof-packing material to precisely manage and cushion pressure. • Rear-shifted position: This configuration should be chosen to reliably avoid any pressure on a descended or rotated coffin bone (distal phalanx) tip. • Ultralight and joint-friendly: This 3D-printed synthetic shoe weighs only a fraction of a traditional metal horseshoe. It protects compromised hoof walls and reduces impact forces with every step—making it an ideal therapeutic solution for rehabilitation and the management of laminitis. Compatible with leading glue-on tab systems The Wolf Busch BluRe glue-on horseshoe can be cleanly bonded using a hot-air gun with original THH glue-on tabs, Wolf Busch adhesive collars (powered by Duplo), or rbCarbon glue-on tabs. It is then secured directly to the hoof using our specialized THH adhesive—a solution highly valued by horse owners, hoof care practitioners, and farriers alike.
