NEW Composite Shoe Welding Service
Are you ordering a shoe and tabs that require welding and you don't want to do it? No problem! Add on this welding service and I will do it for you.
I can weld on 11 finger tabs or Wolf Busch tabs to any composite shoe I sell.
Please note that 11 finger tabs come in rows of 11 and you need 6 tabs per shoe, so you must purchase 2 rows of tabs to have the full 12 tabs. This will leave you with 10 extra tabs that I will include in your order. (I know, dumb design!)
Wolf Busch Tabs are sold in pairs, and you need 1 pair per shoe, so you must purchase 2 pairs for a pair of shoes.
This service is for welding on 1 pair of shoes. If you require multiple pairs welded, you must purchase this service for each pair.
Things to keep in mind:
Duplo shoes fit exactly true to size, so if your horse measures 118mm across the widest part of their hoof after a fresh trim, order size 118mm.
Easyshoe Octos fit 2-4mm big, so if you were previously ordering Octos size 118, they were actually fitting 120-122mm, and you might want to size up your Duplos.
Removing flare reduces the size needed in composites. It is usually possible to remove a bit of flare to help a tight fit, and I want a tight fit to ensure glue retention. If you can place the shoe on the hoof and shake the hoof up and down gently and shoe stays on it will likely hold. If it slides off easily it is too big and will leverage the glue bonds and may not hold.
If you have a special request such as 4 tabs per side, cutting out the debris guard or removing the gripping spikes on the sole side of the Duplo Classics, leave those requests below. Please note that requests such as shave the shoe down 2mm or make it more oval etc will be done, but do run the risk of not fitting your horse perfectly as I cannot see your horse's hoof shape. I will do my very best to follow your instructions, but if you have a particularly difficult to fit horse it might be better to make the adjustments yourself and weld the tabs on. You can also email me after placing your order with pictures and more details.
PLEASE NOTE: Once shoes and tabs have been welded and modified they are no longer returnable or exchangeable, so use this service at your own risk!
