Easycare Quick Studs

Easycare Quick Studs are suitable for most hoof boots.

EasyCare Quick Studs are ideal to help give extra traction on wet, slippery or muddy ground and are small enough to be safe on some harder surfaces (at the riders discretion).

• Come in a pack of 16.
• Up to 10 can be used in a single boot.
• 4 per boot is a common configuration.
• Quick studs are small and round (approx 7mm accross at the widest point and protrude 5mm when in the boot).
• Studs can then be applied whenever needed and removed when not required.

Quick stud application tool IS needed (available seperately here) and an electric drill with a 3/16th drill bit are required for application (not supplied).

Instructions for application are enclosed in each pack of quick studs.

Things to keep in mind when using studs...

• Make sure your boots fit well and your horse is acclimated to wearing them before you apply studs
• Always apply studs to both boots for proper balance
• Do not turn horses out wearing studded boots, as a horse could injure themselves and others with studded boots.
• When drilling, make sure the stud does not extend past the sole of the foot. This can especially be a problem on older boots with worn soles as it can cause pressure points on the inside of the boot.
• Use caution when installing studs in used boots, as the sole tread is thinner than when new. Studs may penetrate through older well-worn soles.
• Always use your best judgment when going out for a ride in slippery conditions. Hoof boots provide extra traction, but they do have their limits.
