In unserem Blogartikel möchten wir dir zeigen, wie du die Stege in den Hoofstar Rally Klebebeschlag richtig einsetzt.
Was sind eigentlich Stege?
Die Stege sind wesentliche Bestandteile des Hoofstar Rally. Sie bilden die Verbindung zwischen den beiden Schenkeln des Rally-Klebebeschlags. Bei der Lieferung sind sie nicht montiert. Zu jedem Klebebeschlag wird ein Satz von 3 bis 5 Stegen mitgeliefert.
Wofür werden die Hoofstar Stege benötigt?
Die Stege sind notwendig, um die optimale Breite des Hufschuhs einzustellen. Außerdem dient der Steg der zusätzlichen Haltbarkeit. Ohne Steg würde sich der Klebebeschlag nach einigen Tagen lösen, da das Pferd beim Laufen einfach zu viel Kraft aufwendet. Dies wird durch den Steg gedämpft.
Das Video unten zeigt, wie der Steg richtig eingesetzt wird. Dazu wird der Steg auf einer Seite von oben im 90°-Winkel durch die Öffnung in der Sohle geschoben und dann der zweite Schenkel der Sohle nach innen gebogen, um die zweite Seite des Steges einzuführen.
Important note about the Hoofstar Rally: The Hoofstar Rally was a trusted glue-on hoof protection in our range for many years. However, it is currently no longer being produced and is therefore no longer available for regular orders. From now on, our full focus will be on our current glue-on hoof protection RUNA, which we are continuously developing and keeping available for you. If you have used the Rally so far and are unsure whether RUNA is suitable for your horse or your customers, we will be happy to advise you personally. If you have a larger demand or are a professional user, you are also welcome to contact us directly. The RALLY glue-on horseshoe is an innovative, flexible hoof protection that has been patented over 10 years of development in collaboration with engineers and hoof care professionals. It combines high-quality plastic with a well-thought-out design that allows your horse to move naturally. Why choose the RALLY glue-on horseshoe? Flexibility and lightness: The hoof protection consists of a hard plastic sole element and soft plastic sidewalls that are gently attached to the hoof wall. Optimal grip: The large-area attachment evenly absorbs thrust, centrifugal, and shear forces, allowing your horse to walk barefoot. Versatile use: The RALLY is suitable for various terrains and applications – from daily rides to intense activities. Advantages of the RALLY glue-on horseshoe: Custom adhesive choice: You can choose between acrylate adhesive or PU adhesive. Acrylate adhesive is particularly reusable as it flows through the holes in the shoe and forms “mushroom heads” that securely hold the shoe. Grip and stability: The enlarged tread sole provides better traction and increased safety on all surfaces. Durable and robust: Thanks to its high abrasion resistance, the glue-on horseshoe is highly durable and lasts even under heavy use. Why choose Hoofstar RALLY for your horse? Promotes blood circulation: The flexible plastic of the RALLY ensures better blood flow in the hoof while walking. Shock absorption: The glue-on horseshoe acts as a shock absorber, protecting your horse’s tendons, joints, and ligaments. No nail holes: Unlike traditional nail-on horseshoes, the hooves remain undamaged. Lightweight and comfortable: The RALLY is significantly lighter than traditional horseshoes, providing additional comfort. Reduced injury risk: Particularly in herd settings, the RALLY reduces the risk of injuries since no nails are used. Size chart for the RALLY glue-on horseshoe Select the appropriate size (Size 9 to 15) based on your horse’s hoof width. Measure the hoof at its widest point – not its length. If unsure, choose the smaller size. The hoof width can be adjusted using the supplied spacers. Size Hoof Width Max. Hoof Length 9 8 - 9 cm 10.2 cm 10 9 - 10 cm 11.0 cm 11 10 - 11 cm 12.1 cm 12 11 - 12 cm 13.0 cm 13 12 - 13 cm 14.1 cm 14 13 - 14 cm 15.0 cm 15 14 - 15 cm 15.9 cm Important note: If your horse’s hooves exceed the maximum hoof length, the RALLY glue-on horseshoe is too short. How to properly attach the RALLY glue-on horseshoe The RALLY glue-on horseshoe can be applied by horse owners themselves or by hoof care professionals/farriers. Ideally, the glue-on horseshoe should be applied after hoof trimming, but no later than a week afterward. Detailed instructions and additional materials can be found on our instruction page. For first-time users, we recommend our 👉 Starter Kit, which includes everything needed to apply the RALLY glue-on horseshoe.
