These studs have been designed with a point making them ideal for varying terrain, for example cross country courses when the going is difficult to gauge, these studs also provide grip when needed.
Premier Equine – Medium Studs pointed for varying ground and jumping (Set of 4)
£12.00
Description
- These studs are available in 4 different lengths, small being the shortest length and XL being the longest length. The studs simply screw into a preformed hole within your horse’s shoe made by your farrier. All of our studs require a preformed hole of 3/8” Whitworth standard thread.
- We advise selecting the best stud based on ground going – soft or hard – and secondly based on your requirement for performance. We advise you use a rounded head on the inner hoof edge to help prevent injury from strike by the opposite leg.
- Your stud kit should contain a variety of different shaped studs to suit your horse’s needs, a stud tap to clean the thread in the stud hole before use, an adjustable spanner and stud plugs.
- Stud holes should always be plugged when not in use to prevent stones and debris from entering or damaging the hole.
- In addition, you may find it useful to invest in a magnetic metal bowl which prevents them becoming lost and is also useful for finding studs when dropped on the grass.
- We advise that you check your stud holes the day before a competition to ensure the threads on the shoe are intact and the studs will apply correctly.
- After use, ensure you clean and store your studs in a dry place.
- We advise the use of stud plugs to ensure the preformed hole remains clear of debris.
- Before applying the stud it is important to ensure the preformed hole is clear of debris. It may be helpful to use a stud tap to help clear away any excess dirt.
- Start by screwing the inner stud, turning it clockwise using your fingers, ensuring the thread of the stud neck enters the hole evenly.
- Once the stud base is in contact with the shoe we recommend using a spanner and giving the stud a final quarter turn to secure in place.
- You may find it helpful to invest in a magnetic bowl when applying studs. This helps keep the studs together while manoeuvring around the horse and is also useful for finding studs that may become lost in the ground.
- You should always consult your farrier and vet before fitting studs.
- Damaged studs should always be removed immediately.
- We advise that studs should be removed immediately after riding.
- Studs should be introduced to your horse slowly and not used for prolonged periods to ensure your horse becomes used to the altered traction given.
