Why Use Horse Studs?

Horse studs can provide additional traction on certain surfaces when used with appropriately prepared horseshoes.

The correct stud configuration depends on factors including ground conditions, discipline, horse, shoeing and movement. More stud or a longer stud is not automatically better.

Stud selection and placement should therefore be discussed with your farrier and, where appropriate, your trainer or veterinarian.

Ideal For

• Competition riders.
• Eventing.
• Show jumping on grass.
• Cross-country.
• Riding on suitable grass surfaces.
• Changing ground conditions.
• Competition grooming and tack boxes.
• Riders who regularly need to fit and remove studs.
• Horses wearing appropriately prepared studded shoes.

How to Use

Before fitting studs, ensure the horse is wearing correctly tapped horseshoes designed to accept studs.

Clean each stud hole thoroughly to remove compacted dirt and debris. Check that the threads are clear before using the appropriate tap where required.

Select and fit studs appropriate for the horse, shoeing, discipline and ground conditions. Tighten securely using the supplied spanner without overtightening.

Remove competition studs when they are no longer required and use the supplied sleepers or rubber plugs to help prevent stud holes from filling with debris.

Important Safety Information

Horse studs alter the amount of traction between the hoof and ground. Incorrect stud selection, excessive traction or inappropriate stud placement may increase stress on the hoof and limb.

Stud type and configuration should be selected according to the horse, shoeing, surface and activity.

If you are unfamiliar with fitting or selecting studs, consult your farrier or another suitably qualified equine professional before use.

Always check the current competition rules for your discipline regarding permitted studs and equipment.

FAQs

How many studs are included?
The kit contains 16 studs in total: 8 short studs and 8 long studs.

Why are there two stud lengths?
Different stud sizes provide options when selecting an appropriate configuration for the horse and ground conditions. The supplied information suggests the short studs for the front and longer studs for the hind, but the appropriate arrangement should be determined for the individual horse.

Does the kit include tools?
Yes. It includes a combination tapping and turning spanner plus a stud-hole cleaning kit.

What are stud sleepers and plugs used for?
They help prevent mud, dirt and other debris from accumulating in the threaded stud holes when competition studs are not fitted.

Can I fit studs to any horseshoe?
No. The horseshoes need to have suitable threaded stud holes prepared for the studs being used.

Can I leave the studs in permanently?
Competition studs are generally fitted for the conditions in which they are required and removed afterwards. Follow your farrier's recommendations for your horse's particular shoeing setup.

Which studs should I use for different ground conditions?
There isn't a single configuration suitable for every horse or surface. Ask your farrier or suitably experienced equine professional for advice on appropriate stud selection and placement.
