rbCarbon Glue-on Tabs: Professional Hoof Protection Without Nails Whether for demanding use in competitive sports or trail riding, during the transition to barefoot, or as a gentle solution for rehabilitation and laminitis, the rbCarbon glue-on tab system creates a rock-solid, elastic bond directly to the hoof wall—completely free of nail holes. As a modern, nail-free alternative to traditional horseshoes, it ensures that the natural hoof mechanism remains fully intact. Two Elastomer Options: "Bruce" (black) & "Camouflage" (beige) In the Hoof Expert shop, you will find both proven versions of the rbCarbon glue-on tabs, ensuring you are optimally equipped for any season and hoof wall condition: rbCarbon "Bruce" (black) glue-on tab: The reliable standard option. It is slightly stiffer than the other elastomer versions, providing excellent shape retention in high summer temperatures as well as in moderate winter conditions. rbCarbon "Camouflage" (beige) glue-on tab: Slightly softer and more pliable than the black "Bruce" version. It conforms perfectly to irregular or challenging hoof walls while maintaining an exceptionally strong hold. Benefits of rbCarbon Glue-on Tabs Flexible positioning on the hoof: Because you use individual tabs—one for the right side and one for the left—you can place them precisely where the hoof wall is most stable. They can even be set back from the toe (an ideal solution for cases of laminitis or when the toe wall has broken away). Compatible with standard TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) horseshoes: Using a heat gun, the rbCarbon tabs can be permanently welded onto synthetic horseshoes—such as HippoBlue, Hippoplast, or Duplo—and then bonded to the hoof wall using a one-component cyanoacrylate adhesive. Temperature-stable & durable: Designed for reliable adhesion throughout an entire shoeing cycle of 6 to 8 weeks. For hoof care professionals, farriers, and horse owners: A highly regarded solution for those applying glue-on shoes—including hoof care practitioners and farriers—who require maximum adaptability to the hoof.
