The glue-on shoe RALLY is a light and flexible hoof shoe, which was patented together with engineers and hoof carers during more than 10 years of development. This flexible hoof protection consists of a hard plastic sole element and two softer plastic side walls that are attached to the horn wall. Due to the large-area fastening, shearing and centrifugal forces on the hoof are absorbed evenly and gently, enabling the horse to walk barefoot. Rally is suitable for a wide variety of applications and surfaces.
Key-Facts Hoofstar RALLY:
- You are free to choose which glue you want to use - acrylic glue is just as possible as PU glue.
- Because of the many holes in the shoe, you can see exactly where the glue is going and you need less glue.
- We recommend using white acrylic glue for better visibility.
- If you choose acrylic glue, the shoe can even be reused. This is because the glue does not bond directly to the shoe, but holds by flowing through the holes and forming little mushroom heads.
- The enlarged profile of the sole gives your horse more grip and tread resistance.
- The shoe can now be used for longer because the abrasion resistance has been increased.
Why should horse owners use the Hoofstar glue-on shoe?
- The flexible plastic ensures better blood circulation to the hoof when walking.
- Shock absorber: Hoofstars cushion the movement, protect tendons, joints and ligaments
- Rally is only glued on and is not burnt on
- No nail holes in the hoof, the hoof is not damaged
- Much lighter than conventional shoes
- Less risk of injury among the horses when kept in herds
Which size shall I choose?
Please select the appropriate hoof size (from size 9 to 15) of your horse. The hoof size must be measured at the widest point (not the length!) of the hoof. In case of doubt or if your horse is exactly on the border, choose the smaller size, the width can be chosen flexibly by the provided bars. The hooves should be measured as soon as possible after hoof care, as this can influence the size of the hoof.

How will Rally be attached?
Our Hoofstar glue-on shoe can be applied by the horse owner himself or by a hoof care professional or farrier. Rally can be applied directly after hoof care or at the latest one week later. Detailed instructions on how to apply the Hoofstars can be found on our instructions page.
There you will also find a list of the additional materials you will need to attach the Hoofstars. Are you using the Hoofstar glue-on shoe "Rally" for the first time? Then we recommend our starter set, which includes the Rally hoof shoes and everything you need to attach them.
