Customized Glue-On Horseshoes: Wolf Busch® Glue-On Tabs Combined with Compatible Composite Shoes
The advantage of creating glue-on horseshoes yourself by welding a base plate with compatible glue-on tabs is the ability to customize the shoe for an optimal fit on the hoof and the individual needs of the horse. The Wolf Busch® glue-on tabs are by far the most popular product in our glue-on range.
Wide Selection – The Right Glue-On Tab for Every Horse
Gluing is becoming increasingly popular in the field of hoof protection. Our Wolf Busch® glue-on tabs can be combined with both round and oval shoes, as well as shoes with STS
and open-toed horseshoe, to create an optimal glue-on horseshoe. The Wolf Busch® glue-on tabs are available in two different hardness levels and also in a colored edition.
For more information, a step-by-step gluing guide, and everything you need to know about successful glue-on shoe application, please refer to our product description.
Please ensure you select the appropriate size of the glue-on tabs in relation to the size of the horseshoe.
The Slightly Softer "Soft" Glue-On Tabs
Please also take note of the special instructions for the glue-on tabs "soft" in our detailed product description. These tabs, made from slightly softer material, are primarily designed for lower temperatures and irregular hoof shapes. They are not suitable for use during the hot summer months. Regardless of the temperature, you should not use the glue-on tabs "soft" for hooves that land in a very rotary or shuffling way because of the more flexible base material. We also do not recommend them for sports that place high and/or shearing stress on the fixation of the horseshoes, such as show jumping and eventing.

| Your Benefits |
A well-thought-out system – choose the appropriate tab based on:
|
| Adjustment | Please note that not only the shoe, but also the glue-on tabs may need to be adjusted to the hoof. Check the height of the tabs and their correct position on the hoof. If the glue-on tab is positioned not only on the horn but also on the coronet band, the adhesive bond will become unstable. |
| Compatible Shoes | With the exception of the Duplo Arizona, the glue-on tabs can generally be combined with all plastic and composite shoes from our range. They are compatible with both standard and extra shoes as well as with models made from regranulate. Depending on the plastic compound and temperature, it may be necessary to adjust the temperature of the hot air device as well as the rolling speed during welding. |
