Jimmy has got some good taste in studs :P
You said it
the "perfect stud kit" bit was so funny. horse humor ftw!
This was beyond helpful! Thank you so much. Love the videos!!
Very helpful - can you talk more about stud placement though? I notice your horse is only tapped and drilled on the heels. Can you discuss tapping and drilling at the heels vs. at the toes? Front vs. hind? And do you put the same size stud in both heels of the same shoe, or might you put a different stud on the inside heel vs. the outside heel? Thanks for clearing up so many mysteries!
Thank you so much for this video! Very helpful.
Screw plugs/stud blanks are handy, but I wouldn't leave them in for more than a few days... they have a tendency to rust if left in longer and can get REALLY stuck in the holes! Best are the rubber plugs or cotton wool that Dom mentions in the video.
love your videos there so helpful
Alright, that makes sense.. thanks so much!
which one can you use for mountain climbing? My dad does that alot and i get a little worry of my horse slipping -_-
First of all I have never heard of studs being put in the toe of the shoe. I can't really imagine that working at all let alone for jumping. I think it would affect the horses break over too much. As far as stud placement goes, we start from the outside heel and work in and from the back working forward. Example, the grass showjumping is good footing but has a couple tight turns, we may only use outside studs in the hind feet. If you use different sized studs, bigger always to the outside.
Yes, you can
one of the best tools I have found for cleaning out the stud holes is a hook and pick set super strong and the corkscrew type one is great for the really nasty little stones - something like this

love it! :D
This was REALLY helpful- but I have one stupid question.. do the stud holes need to be plugged/filled with anything, and/or cleaned on a day to day basis? (As in, do they need to be kept free of dirt and stuff all the time, or do you just clean them before you need to put the studs in?) Thanks!
Yea
Anyone know where I could get the safety tap?
that last part though hahahahahahahahahahaha
No such thing as a stupid question. We don't keep the stud holes in our horses shoes plugged with anything usually. When it comes time to show, they are normally packed with dirt and you just clear them out and go. I've seen some stud kits come with small screw plugs that you put in with an allen key and they don't actually protrude out of the shoe but rather just stop dirt from getting in. If you wanted to guarantee that your holes were clear you could use that but probably not necessary.
If you're wrenching them in, how can you tell if they're hitting his hoof?
if your farrier drilled the holes in properly, they should be the perfect length for the stud, so you want to keep screwing until its totally in, if they aren't in all the way, there is a chance of them breaking off i believe.
Dover's saddlery… go for around 35$. :)

real
😀
Wouldn't that be uncomfortable for the horse to be walking around on solid ground with those on?
No, if it was uncomfortable the horses would reflect that in their walk, which they don't.
When he was screwing the stud in did anyone see the foot in the background??.... XD
R&R
Ever thought of going barefoot? the horses that is :P
Not typical to have the horse barefoot if you're doing any real eventing
angelswave88 Yeah i know. I was just saying lol :)
Alexandra Neeve I go barefoot in dirt and grass, but wear shoes on hard surfaces, gravel, in mud, and any time it's wet. I think it's a good idea to follow the same rules with horses. If they're just goofing around in the pasture, or in light work on grass, dirt, or sand, barefoot it is. If they're being ridden on hard or slippery surfaces, or doing any sort of competing, I'd put them in shoes to protect their feet.
Aeryn Kallstrom agreed! Glue on shoes could be an option too.
