From Bluegrass Horseshoeing School

“The family that had these two horses called today and told us their horses were running the next day after applying the Glushu shoes. They had previously been trimmed by someone else and the feet were not done properly. There were holes in the bottom of ones feet from improper nipper runs. The other had the wall completely removed and the sole was convex a good 1" below the wall. Both horses were having difficulty walking.

Were all about traditional farriery here, but these shoes are a definite in our tool box. Thanks to Lynne Myers from GluShu for giving the clinic and showing us how to properly use them. It would have been a whole lot more work if we didn't have these in this case.”

The Benefits of Glushu Shoes

Glushu shoes are designed to provide support and comfort for horses with sensitive hooves. They are especially helpful in situations where traditional farriery methods fall short. The farriers at Bluegrass Horseshoeing School stress that although they value traditional techniques, Glushu shoes are crucial tools in addressing hoof sensitivity. A clinic led by Lynne Myers from Glushu highlighted the correct application techniques. The insights gained from this workshop significantly contributed to the recovery of the horses.

The impact of Glushu shoes extended beyond immediate relief; they allowed horses to regain their mobility swiftly. Positive feedback from the horse owners highlighted just how effective these shoes can be. Many horses that previously hesitated to walk were soon running freely, showcasing the transformative potential of proper hoof care.
