jbw tx mom - 2013-11-20 2:17 PM I think these would be great to use as a temporary fix. We use to run a horse that was thin walled very shallow, sole on the ground. Terrible footed that jerked shoes off a lot during a run. We would use duct tape until we could get home, but these would be great for a situation like that.
I can see them as a temporary fix.  Beyond that I can't see them on a horse under heavy use or in a competition situation.  Could any glue hold up to 1200+ lbs of torque in all kinds of weather and ground conditions?  The picture don't look like they would provide much traction.   I also wonder about covering that much of the hoof with plastic and glue effecting the integrity of the hoof wall -- how easily can fungi and bacteria thrive in that enviornment?

agreed!

Location: Where the pavement ends and the West begins Utah		Been through 23 talented farriers in less than 2 years, I have since learned how to trim right and I've eliminated the long toe and balanced the hoof on my 5 horses my hands aren't talented enough to nail a shoe on but I'm sure I could master putting on glue and sliding a croc on.

 I have to agree with Cow Pie! LOL Farriers and vets couldn't get my horse sound, but a barefoot trimmer could. I now rasp in between her trims. It's not rocket science. I'm glad that feet don't intimidate me like they used to.
