Explora Hoof Boot Ice Studs (pack of 4)

Calypso and her explora boots with little traction pins just did 40km at the Long Mynd, an endurance ride run by a lovely madwoman who has done both Tevis and the Mongol Derby and created a course so challenging that I got an email from the secretary asking me if I was sure I would be ok riding it alone. No rubs, twists, losses or slips except one time on short grass on a sideways camber and I was very glad to have them over all the rocks. The ride farrier was very interested in them too so we got an extra long inspection and lots of questions. I used them at Red Dragon last autumn as well, a ride that's got some seriously slippery short wet grass, and it really improved Clippy's confidence. That ride route is usually littered with big slide marks from shod and booted hooves alike but we were fine! I do find them grabby on tarmac though so I have to steady up on any road sections, which is why I don't use them at home. I lost a few at Dragon but I think I didn't screw them in far enough, they were fine at Long Mynd. A handheld ratchet screwdriver is much better than a power driver to put them in though, more control and chews the sole up less! Pilot holes are necessary though, at least on hard soles.
