In most cases, the Goodsmith glue-on horseshoe lasts at least as long as a conventional shoe – often even longer.

The regular trimming interval is 6–8 weeks. From a hoof health perspective, shorter intervals of about 4 to a maximum of 6 weeks are ideal, since this distributes the load on the hoof more evenly.

Actual durability depends, among other things, on:

  • hoof quality
  • ground conditions
  • frequency of use
  • correct fitting and application
  • weather conditions

If the shoe is cleanly fitted and correctly glued, it usually remains stable until the next scheduled trimming appointment.
