Very cooperative and willing to make the cusp experience pleasant and efficient

Game Changer!

These are now my go-to option for when my barrel horses need protection and support. They offer shock absorption as welll, and allow the hoof to flex and function as it should, unlike metal shoes. Also the wide web and frog support is great for supporting the whole foot and internal structures while avoiding the peripheral loading you typically get with narrower shoes that lack frog support.
So far I have seen great improvement in my horses' confidence and way of going. As well as progress in growing out some hoof distortions that we had been struggling with.
My oldest set has been reset 3 times now without having to replace any tabs. Just be nice to them when you pull them off! Will see how the tread wear looks after this round, might even get a 4th reset out of them yet.
(Typically do 4 week cycles)
Very fun to start playing with dying them different colours too! However when colouring a previously used shoe, if there is any glue left on the tabs before dying, the colour won't take as much in those spots. So best to do it when they're new.
I will be using versa line shoes for the foreseeable future.
10/10 would recommend.

Love these shoes

Easy to put on and they stay for a full cycle

Love the octos

Shoes ok but didn't stay on

Ordered hind shoes for my horse's narrow front feet. Good length but still a touch wide. Thought the gluing went well enough but one was off in two days and lost in the field. Some user error for sure but pretty disappointing. They're not cheap.

Hi Ben,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience — we’re sorry to hear that things didn’t go as expected. We haven’t encountered consistent issues like this with the product, and when properly applied, the glue system is typically very reliable. It sounds like there may have been a challenge with the application process, which can happen — adhesion can be affected by several small factors like prep method, ambient temperature, or humidity.

For best results, we recommend reviewing the step-by-step “How-To” guide available on our website, which includes troubleshooting tips and video demonstrations to help ensure success with glue-on applications.

Regards,
The Horse Gear Canada team
