Removing Glue-on Shoes and Rehabbing Hooves Part 1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- The first part of this video shows me removing EasyCare Versa Octos and then trimming and prepping the horses hooves to reapply a new pair of shoes.
This horse has compromised hooves. This time of year he has some inflamatory events and sometimes a full blown laminitis episode. He gets footsore especially on hard ground, gets bad hoof wall separation which leads to cracks and seedy toe. I also suspect he has some rotation and/or sinking of the coffin bone.
He has been doing great in the shoes and we will keep them on as long as necessary.
This is part 1. I will be filming part 2 the next time I see him so I can track his progress.

I love watching you work on these horses feet entertaining and educating! Thanks ❤
Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment!
Dang nab it! I wanted to see you apply the shoes. I've heard of these "glue on" shoes, but never actually saw one until today's video. Always educationsl, Kristin.
Thank you for watching!
I’m excited about the next parts of this video! I barefoot trim my own horses (in australia) after learning from some of the best barefoot trimmers locally and I need to do some glue on rehab with one. Looking forward to an upcoming clinic and learning about how to do them myself!
That’s awesome! Thanks for watching!
Really cool, educational video! Thanks!
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
Nice presentation. Thank you for sharing...
Thank you too! So nice of you!
Again, love these videos! How are you getting good retention with the Octos with his dished feet?
Thank you! If they fit well at the base and there aren’t any gaps they stay on fine for the full cycle.
Love your videos and really looking forward to Part 2 on this one. I may be jumping ahead but wondering how you get the old glue off the Versa Grip tabs to re-use the shoes? I used Adhere and can't get the old, cured glue to peel, crack or dremel off. Or do just leave it on and apply fresh glue to the inside of the tabs? Wondering if I should switch to the Super Glue for easier removal than the epoxy.
Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching! I don’t reuse the shoes on client horses. When I do clean them I use a dremel. It is a long and tedious process. For how long it takes me it’s cheaper for the client to just pay for a new pair of shoes.
I only use the octos with superglue if the shoe fits really well. If they don’t, I use the grip glues or speeds with acrylic glue.
My gelding ended up with the same kind of crack in his hoof wall. It was not fun to try and grow out. Where are you located with your trimming? also, do you have a brand you like for your tools? I'm going to need to get some new one's soon and would like to hear your opinion. Thanks!
Hi there. I’m in Arkansas. The brand depends on the tool I’m using. They are all different brands.
What about that WLD and toe cracks in both fronts?!
It’s growing out nicely now. Will have an updated video in a couple of weeks.
Are you going to reshoe him...and if so, why are you making the frogs so short...there's no way they'd touch the ground. Also, regarding the periopole...aren't you damaging the integrity of the wall?
I did re-shoe come. I have to remove as much gross dead tissue around the frog as possible because this guy lives in a pond all summer. When the hoof is weighted the frog makes contact with the frog support portion of the shoe.
The periople has to be removed so that the tabs will adhere to the wall. The super glue acts as a protective layer for the hoof wall during the cycle.
