Original THH adhesive tabs for horses & ponies – The breathable adhesive tab system

The original THH glue-on tab system: Developed by hoof experts Since 2004, our THH (The Happy Horse) glue-on tabs have served as a proven foundation for reliable, gentle, adhesive-based hoof protection. As a genuine, nail-free alternative to traditional horseshoes, they provide optimal hoof protection without weakening the delicate hoof wall through nail holes or restricting the natural hoof mechanism. Why the THH glue-on tab system is so unique Unlike many other adhesive systems on the market, the original THH system is exceptionally horse-friendly and time-efficient: Breathable hoof wall: The special structure of the adhesive tabs ensures the hoof wall is not sealed airtight—allowing the hoof horn to continue "breathing" naturally. No blow-drying required: When used with our one-component cyanoacrylate adhesive, the system utilizes the hoof’s natural residual moisture to cure. This eliminates the need for tedious blow-drying with noisy equipment or keeping the horse confined overnight. Sole remains untouched: The adhesive is applied exclusively to the outside of the hoof wall—the sensitive sole is left completely free. Ready for weight-bearing in seconds: You can work comfortably on the hoof while it is held or supported. The bond is ready to bear weight within just a few seconds. THH glue-on tabs for horses & specialized THH pony tabs Whether for a large warmblood, a draft horse, or a small Shetland pony: in this category, you will find both our trusted, horse-sized THH glue-on tabs and our specially adapted THH pony tabs, designed for the smaller, narrower hooves of ponies. For ponies with thin hoof walls, in particular, an adhesive-based solution is often the best choice, as traditional horseshoe nails can easily cause the hoof wall to chip or exert uncomfortable pressure. Versatile in application: From everyday use to rehabilitation and laminitis treatment Using a hot-air gun, our THH adhesive tabs can be permanently welded onto almost any standard TPU synthetic horseshoe (such as HippoBlue, Hippoplast, or WB 3D blueline). They are the ideal choice for: Transitioning to barefoot: A gentle shift from nailed-on metal shoes to going barefoot. Sport & leisure: Abrasion-resistant, reliable hold on all types of terrain for 6 to 8 weeks. Rehabilitation & laminitis treatment: Pain-free application—no hammering or nailing required—making them perfect for cases of laminitis, hoof abscesses, or compromised hoof walls. Horse owners, hoof care practitioners, and farriers: Whether used as a complete alternative to nailing or as a quick solution for farriers when the hoof wall can no longer hold a nail.
