Customers share their horses—and why the RUNA glue-on shoe proves itself in everyday life.
From bright orange to soft pink: our community glues RUNA in bold colors—and shares enthusiastic real-world experiences from open stabling, the arena, out on the trails, and even in ice & snow. Here are 10 real voices showing just how practical, tough, and reusable RUNA is.
Winter? Mud? Asphalt? — RUNA holds.
Daniel W. rides and manages an open stable with real winter challenges: “Either deep mud fever conditions or high-friction asphalt.” His conclusion after the first test: 6 weeks of secure hold, only minimal touch-ups on two tabs — and the mare moves better and stands more upright.
Sonja M. ordered RUNA in orange just in case a shoe might come off — “turned out it wasn’t necessary.” After 4 weeks: perfect fit on a muddy winter pasture and out on the trails in all gaits, with only one tab needing a quick re-glue once.
Easy to glue — quick to become routine
Hoof care professional Michael M. puts it simply: “With a bit of routine, it’s quick and clean to apply. The adhesive holds very well.”
Andrea F. found the “trick” for size adjustment thanks to the video guides—then it’s fast, holds well, no tab comes loose in the mud, and her horse moves really well.
Carola S. reports typical beginner mistakes—first time she filed too cautiously → individual tabs came loose; second time she smoothed thoroughly and didn’t touch it again — “stuck like a rock!”
Nadine W.: “As easy as described. Tabs are super tough, even after re-gluing.”
Yvonne T. switched from Rally to RUNA because applying it is “even faster and simpler”—with great grip and very good durability.
Iris M. confirms: it holds very well when the hooves are prepped cleanly. At only 2°C she had to re-glue a few tabs; once it warmed up again, “everything holds again.”
Tested by mile-munchers & in active stables
Evelyn B. was skeptical — after 3 weeks she says: “absolutely thrilled.” Whether it’s jump training, pasture gallops, lunging, or trail rides — everything stays on, not even a single re-glue needed; even daily hosing off “doesn’t bother the glue-ons at all.”
Lisa O. keeps her horse in an active stable — RUNA lasts into a second cycle. Her verdict: “Super happy.”
Reusable & repairable — designed with sustainability in mind
Many voices report reusing RUNA: 2–3 times and sometimes even more, as long as the tread and tabs still fit. Individual tabs can be re-glued easily—super practical in everyday stable life. For small damage to the inner pad, there’s our Repair Kit, so you can keep using your RUNA.
Pro tip: Before re-gluing, remove old glue residue thoroughly (e.g., with the mini file and/or the cleaning brush) and prep the hoof cleanly. Instant adhesive doesn’t bond to itself.
Color is fun — and practical
Colors aren’t just a style statement, they’re also practical: as Sonja shows, orange is easy to spot out in the pasture. Many customers combine visibility with safety—and send us fantastic photos of their colorful RUNA horses.
What works in our community
-
Hoof preparation is the game-changer: dry, clean, freshly roughened—and then don’t touch it again (watch our video if you want to see how).
-
Set the size correctly (the glue-on should not sit loosely, but snug and solid on the hoof)—then everything bonds quickly and cleanly.
-
Tabs: if a corner starts to work, re-glue early—done.
-
Reuse: depending on use and wear, it can be reused multiple times; a bit of touch-up work pays off.
Community takeaway
Ten real voices paint a similar picture: glued on quickly, worn for a long time, and horses seem more relaxed. Mud, snow, or asphalt—the colorful RUNAs reliably get you through everyday life. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
