Farrier Report: Supporting Laminitic Shetlands with Glushu

Laminitis is a painful and challenging condition for horses, especially for smaller breeds like Shetlands. Managing laminitic horses requires careful attention, expert care, and the right tools to support hoof health during recovery. Bart Lambert, a skilled farrier, shares photos of his experience using Glushu glue on horseshoes to help a Shetland recovering from laminitis. His approach highlights how combining proper management with innovative products can improve outcomes for these vulnerable animals.

From Bart Lambert:

“Hoof-trapped horses (Laminates) can certainly be helped! With good customer management and a good team to support the horse.

The photos show the horse from before the surgery. Then photos of intervention, followed with the current situation.

How Glushu Supports Laminitic Hoof Care

Glushu is a specialised glue on horse shoe designed for farriers to attach horseshoes securely while offering additional support to the hoof.

• Stable shoe attachment reduces movement that could worsen hoof damage.

• The Glushu provides a cushioning effect, easing pressure on sensitive areas.

• It allows for custom orthopedic fittings, tailored to the horse’s specific needs.

  
  

Bart’s photos document the process clearly: from the horse’s condition before surgery, through the intervention stage, to the current improved state. These images demonstrate how Glushu contributes to hoof stability and comfort during recovery.
