FAQs

What is the primary benefit of these large pointed studs?

The pointed design provides superior grip and traction on varying and unpredictable terrain, enhancing stability for the horse.

Can I fit these studs myself?

No, these studs screw into a preformed hole in the horse's shoe that must be made by a qualified farrier. You will also need a tap and wrench.

What size hole is required for these studs?

They require a standard 3/8" Whitworth preformed hole in the horseshoe.

Are these studs suitable for all ground conditions?

They are ideal for varying terrain, including soft or hard ground where extra grip is needed, but always select the best spike for the specific soil and performance requirements.

How do I prevent injury to my horse?

It is recommended to use a stud with a rounded head on the inside edge of the shoe to avoid injury. Ensure proper fitment and consult your farrier.

What should I do when studs are not in use?

Always use stud plugs to prevent stones and debris from entering or damaging the preformed hole.

What is included in a typical stud kit?

A cleat kit should generally contain a variety of different shaped cleats, a tap, a wrench, and cleat plugs.

Troubleshooting

Studs do not screw in easily

Verify the hole is the correct size (3/8" Whitworth) and clean. Ensure the stud threads are not damaged. Consult your farrier if issues persist.

Studs feel loose after tightening

Ensure the hole is clean and the stud is fully seated. Over-tightening can damage threads; seek professional advice from your farrier.

Horse appears uncomfortable or lame

Immediately remove the studs. Check for any interference, incorrect placement, or potential injury. Consult your veterinarian and farrier.

Stud holes are clogged with debris

Use a stud plug consistently when studs are not in use. Clean out debris carefully with a small pick or wire brush, ensuring not to damage the threads.
