Clean hoof preparation is essential

Before the Goodsmith glue-on horseshoe is glued on, the hoof must absolutely be clean and prepared. This means:

• no dirt
• no mud
• no grease on the hoof wall

For optimal adhesion, the hoof is, before gluing:

1. correctly prepared and ground,
2. then thoroughly degreased.

Only once the hoof surface is truly clean and dry can the glue hold reliably.

Does moisture affect the glue?

Once the glue has fully cured, the Goodsmith glue-on horseshoe is:

• water-resistant
• suitable for mud, wet conditions, and normal everyday stable or pasture use

Does the shoe also hold up in mud and wet conditions?

• wet ground
• muddy paddocks
• rainy periods

👉 What always matters: clean, dry hoof preparation – then mud, slush, and water are not a problem for the shoe.
