The first and fastest 2 minute glue on system in the world. Now being used by several master farriers shoeing for top thoroughbred trainers in the USA. Used for tender footed thin soled racehorses or just to maintain good sound hoof wall by driving fewer nails. Proven to help reduce or stop soreness or heat in the legs and hooves after racing or training. Available in most of our front racing plate styles and many of our competition shoes. Very economical and easy to use.
(Concept: B. Rynearson)

Each kit contains:
1 pair of thorobred sticky bonded shoes
1 bottle of thorogrip
1 bottle of cleaner and accelerator
2 pair of latex gloves and instructions.

Easy to apply:
Trim and rasp the hoof level.
Shape and flatten shoe to match hoof - leave no gaps.
Wipe shoe and hoof with accelerator.
Allow to dry.
Rest hoof on clean surface while applying glue to shoe.
Place shoe on hoof and hold firmly for 10-15 seconds until sticky.
Lower hoof to ground and lift opposite hoof for 30-45 sec.
Then tap in clips on glued shoe and spray accelerator on any excess glue.
Lift and finish.
Adding a nail to each shoe branch will assure job four to eight weeks when learning this application.
(ThoroGrip bonds well to acrylics).


     

 
 
Rasp or file the foot smooth and flat.
 
Shape and fit the shoe to the hoof. Make sure it is flat to the hoof, no gaps, this glue will not fill gaps.
 
Keep hoof an shoe as clean as possible. A cleaner can be used such as Acetone, if desired. Only make sure that it has dried completely before applying glue.
 
Apply Thoro'Grip in a circular or zig-zag pattern on the rubber pad.
 
Press and hold the shoe in place for 30 seconds, or until it is sticking enough to lower the hoof to the ground. Then lift the opposite hoof in the same motion so that the glued hoof will not move while you start on the other hoof. When you have glued the second hoof, lower it down and lift the opposite hoof for two minutes to make sure that the weight of the horse has compressed the glued surface and allowed to set.
 
Tap in the side clips or toe clip and your done. This should last for four weeks normally, but if you want to insure the job for a longer time, drive one nail in each branch of the shoe. Thoro'Grip Glue is a strong blend of "Super Glue" and is not toxic if used in the manner described above.
