any body any pics of glue on jobs

yes, I do...but since I'm "computer challenged"...I can't get them to download? If somebody has an e-mail address I can sent to, that can then post them? :confused:
Sorry, I'm a ******-******. :cool:

I was acctually looking into some glue-ons as well, although I haven't tried any yet. The ones that I liked the sound of were the Sigafoos. www.soundhorse.com.

yeah send your pictures to me, i'll post them up...

I just went there. di dyou downlaod the video? Only do it if you have high spped connetion, its huge. Anyway its looks VERY messy. Like you would need to dedicate an apron just for that (at least). and they wrap up the hoof with tape like its a package being shipped by the "We break stuff" shipping service.

I guess they coime out solid, but it seems like an overkill process considering things like Adhere are available. But I guess it would stay on much better as well.

BTW the horse at the end of the 1st video looks like he walks off a little funny..?
...Maybe he's just high from all the glue.

Although we did use 2 nails/hoof. He gets worked some: at least 1-3 hrs/day, 6 days/week...trails, driving, dressage, lounging, tricks...life is good.

I didn't watch the video.. I have slow dial-up 28.8 KBPS (thats on a good day!!!) So downloading anyhthing is hard... Im still kinda of skeptical.. I can't imagine at $50 a pair.. if I'd want to take a chance on loseing a shoe!! And theres not re-settign them either!

****per, lost a shoe Saturday (out on trail)...been 10 days since shod.
Farrier reset Sunday. God bless 'em...he was booked for Monday, and (he) coundn't wait 'til Tuesday. He is probably the most professional and truly concerned farrier. I think he was more dissapointed than I...we are new to the Epona Shoe/Glue thing, and were really hoping it would work.
Anyway, it appears the glue (Vettec Adhere) is failing at the heels?, although we have 2nails/hoof...might go to 4? BTW, we followed Vettec instructions to the letter!
Anybody use "Equibond"...or recommend a better glue? :confused: We do want to give this another chance. We will probably reset before the shoes just fall off?
Our goal is to acheive the "benefits" of barefeet, yet protect the sole.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance.

PS: Josh, did you get the e-mail pics?

I'm looking into this glueing stuff right now. I saw several guys that were good at glueing shoes. Most of them use Equilox, although the Vettec guys say Adhere is just as good.

What I like about the Sigafoos II is that you cut out your own bar shoe. I would not cut out a heart bar, at least not put it on without some pour in hoofpack. The Sigafoos deal does look very solid!

What I don't like is that you're stuck with this urethane ground surface. But on the other hand I can not see myself use it on a performance horse and on a the****utic case I don't care too much is the ground surface is urethane or not. I agree it does look very messy, but all glueing is.......

Further I wonder about glueing the cuff to the shoe. Would it work without the toaster oven? Just a heat gun? How critical is the technique shown in the video? If heat and the pressure to be applied afterwards are critical I can not see myself doing that in the field where all I have to heat something up is my forge and a heatgun.

Phil said the price is $50 per pair which seems to me a fair price if that includes all you need.

Would the Dallmer cuffs be an alternative? You can srew all kind of shoes to that. You can glue it on the hoofwall too like Sigafoos.

Good Stuff

Chico (pictured above, thanks to slowshoe) lost a shoe yesterday...right hind.
We were driving and it came off in a place where we were just walking along.
Also, the 2 nails broke in half. (we do have 2 nails per hoof)...half is on the shoe, and half is still in his hoof?!?!?!? Why would that happen?
This is about 3 1/2 weeks since shod. We put 4 nails (2/side) on the foot we lost a shoe on last week, tomorrow we will do the same of this foot...and either add 2 nials to the other 2 feet also, or actually maybe even reset (glue/ 4-nails) the other 2 feet at this time as well?
Can anyone think of anything else to help keep these shoes on?
Thank you,
Diana
