Enhanced Grip with Quick Studs (Spikes) for Improved Traction
One advantage of the plastic cover on our composite and pure urethane horseshoes lies in its inherent grip, thanks to the material and the slightly profiled surface. However, certain situations may still call for traction-enhancing devices.
There are various ways to boost the grip of our horseshoes, with the first option being the "spikes". Familiar to many as "quick studs", these helpers can be compared to carbide pins for steel horseshoes and serve as a preliminary stage to studs. You can easily screw them into the synthetic material of the horseshoe using a suitable spike adapter.
It's important to note that quick studs come in two sizes (M and L). For their installation, you'll need an adapter in the corresponding size (M or L). The slightly larger L spikes are not suitable for use in the toe area of our STS horseshoes and neither for the pony sizes of our "Classic" model. If you wish to enhance grip on your straight toe shoes or pony shoes, please use M spikes.
A notable advantage of our quick studs is their flexibility — they can be screwed into the plastic cover of our shoes even after the shoe has been applied to the hoof, provided that the horse is not bothered by the noise of the power drill.
Please take a few minutes to review the comprehensive product description where you'll find all the information about applying quick studs, along with additional tips and tricks.
Whether you are a farrier or a horse owner: In order to avoid injuries to humans and horses, it is important that you read and follow our Safety Advice when using our products. Please note that quick studs increase the risk of injury within the herd situation.
