Adhesive Tabs & Adhesive Collars – THH, rbCarbon & WB powered by Duplo

Glue-on Tabs for Your Glue-on Horse Shoes: Why Glue Instead of Nail? A modern glue-on shoe provides your horse or pony with reliable, wear-resistant, and nail-free hoof protection, without weakening the sensitive hoof wall through nail holes. As a true nail-free alternative to traditional horseshoes, it preserves the natural hoof mechanism while noticeably relieving strain on tendons, ligaments, and joints. To ensure your synthetic shoe stays firmly in place—regardless of the weather or the terrain—choosing the right glue-on tabs is crucial. These tabs are easily welded onto the synthetic shoe (e.g., HippoBlue, Hippoplast, Duplo, or WB 3D blueline) using a heat gun, and are then bonded directly to the outer hoof wall with a specialized one-component cyanoacrylate adhesive. Comparing Our Systems: THH Glue-on Tabs, rbCarbon, and WB Tabs (powered by Duplo) Unlike closed, proprietary systems found elsewhere on the market, our "Hufexperten" (Hoof Expert) shop offers a comprehensive, brand-agnostic selection of leading glue-on systems—suitable for every hoof shape, size, and season: Original THH Glue-on Tabs (for horses and ponies): Proven in practice since 2004 and specifically designed for breathability. In addition to the standard size for horses, we offer specialized THH pony tabs, precisely tailored to fit small, narrow pony hooves. The unique design of these tabs ensures the hoof wall is not sealed airtight. Furthermore, the specialized adhesive utilizes the hoof's natural residual moisture to cure—eliminating the need for tedious blow-drying or keeping the horse confined overnight. rbCarbon Glue-on Tabs & Collars (Bruce & Camouflage): Manufactured from an extremely tear-resistant, temperature-stable elastomer. Thanks to the individual left and right tabs, they can be positioned freely (including a recessed placement that leaves the toe area clear). The "Bruce" version (black) is particularly effective in high summer temperatures, while the "Camouflage" version (beige) is slightly softer and provides an exceptionally secure fit, even on challenging hoof shapes. WB Tabs powered by Duplo: These proven adhesive tabs from Wolf Busch (powered by Duplo) are ideal for anyone relying on the well-designed Duplo/WB glue-on horseshoe system. They can be cleanly welded onto synthetic horseshoes, providing a reliable and flexible attachment method suitable for leisure riding, sports, and smaller hooves. Areas of application: From sports use to rehabilitation and laminitis treatment Whether you want to transition your horse from metal shoes to barefoot, need to help damaged hoof walls regenerate, or require an orthopedic solution for rehabilitation or laminitis—the right adhesive tabs allow for a fully customized fit. The bond remains secure throughout an entire trimming cycle of 6 to 8 weeks and can be removed afterward without leaving any residue. Developed for horse owners, hoof care professionals, and farriers Our versatile adhesive tab system is developed by experienced hoof experts and used in the field by hoof care practitioners, horse owners, and an increasing number of farriers. Whether as a quick fix when a metal shoe no longer holds, for sensitive pony or horse hooves, or as a complete, nail-free alternative to traditional horseshoes—our system allows you to work comfortably on the hoof, whether or not a farrier is present.
