Studs & equipment: grip, safety and performance on every surface
Horse studs for shoes are an essential part of your equipment when riding or competing on challenging surfaces. Whether you are dealing with wet grass, mud or hard ground, the right studs & equipment provide your horse with extra grip and stability. This improves balance, reduces the risk of slipping and supports confident movement, especially during jumping, cross-country or fast work.
At Emmers Equestrian, you will find a carefully selected range of horse studs and equipment designed for different conditions and disciplines. Horse studs are small metal attachments that can be screwed into the stud hole of the horseshoe to increase traction. There are different types of studs available, such as grass studs for firm turf, road studs for harder surfaces and deep footing studs for muddy conditions. Choosing the correct type depends on the ground, your discipline and your horse’s experience.
In addition to studs, a complete stud kit is essential for safe and efficient use. This includes tools such as a tee tap for cleaning your stud holes, stud plugs to protect the thread when not in use, and wrenches for secure fitting. Proper cleaning of the stud hole before inserting studs is important to prevent damage and ensure a secure fit. Regular maintenance and correct use help extend the lifespan of your equipment and keep your horse comfortable.
