Re: [RC] sneakers - Maggie MieskeRoger, Not sure what you are planning to use for glue but we LOVE the Super Fast by Vettec and highly recommend it. It's great stuff. Sets FAST though so have to have a horse who will cooperate. When they don't or if we need more time to monkey with the foot then we use Adhere which is the same stuff but sets slower. We tried some of those glues where you mix it with a stick, wrap the foot, etc. and it was nasty stuff and didn't work worth a darn. Have used this Superfast to glue shoes on a mare with a broken coffin bone who couldn't stand nailing and couldn't stand barefoot...they lasted up to twelve weeks! In some nasty icky footing...she wasn't kept in a very clean environment and didn't move around much.

They helped for many years with lots of careful shoeing. Problem was due to a major cut on the front of the RF shoulder at 5 yrs She has over 2k- dont fell like looking it up - in ECTRA CTR and AERC. After 3 tries - finished the OD100 sound at 10 ys I rode her till she was 17 0r 18 in LDs and a few 50 milers.. now we just play-- at 21 a more pronounced un-even gait. I dont use sneakers anymore - barefoot now - going to test the equi-flex shoe on her-- AND GLUE it on. Just to see if they work. A test one-rat. So try one pair- I used them on all 4 but that was because of the OD.. and other rides when we lived in PA. Dont think you really need them on the rear. The also really slip LOTS in the red GA clay.. so they were not so good down in the SE.
