product description

Prevent your Horse from Slipping - Additional Grip thanks to Integrated Screw Threads for Studs

You are looking for a horseshoe that is shock-absorbing and thus gentle on the joints, that restricts the movement of the horn capsule and the hoof mechanism as little as possible and at the same time offers additional protection against slipping? Then our horseshoe with quarter clips and screw threads is the right choice because you can add two screw studs for additional anti-slide protection.

This model is our bestseller as "winter horseshoe" if you want to be active with your horse in winter as well.

Why the Standard Version (with Orange Knobs) of This Model is a Good Choice during the Winter Horse Riding Season:

While this horseshoe with screw threads is only used by a few in the summer, it is a popular model in the winter months. The two integrated screw threads in the heel area are suitable for our M8 anti-slide studs with disk.

  • The softer synthetic material of the Standard models remains flexible and preserves its shock-absorbing properties even in the cold season.
  • The synthetic rim is similar to a snow insert (e.g. Snowgrip®) on metal horseshoes and thus largely prevents snow from balling up.
  • The screw inserts in the heel area are suitable for our 4mm and 6mm anti-slide screw studs with disk. Please observe the separate safety instructions for the use of our horseshoes with screw studs.
  • Spikes can also be used for additonal anti-slide protection.

The Danger of Slipping during the Winter Horse Riding Season

No matter what you prefer in winter - be it the metal horseshoe with Snowgrip®, hoof boots, pure plastic shoes or our composite shoes - it is always important that horse and rider are safe on the road!

Please always remember that it can quickly become slippery. Especially in winter, there are dangerous situations that are difficult to predict. It is just like in normal road traffic: You must always be very careful and expect that even with winter tires it can become slippery. The same applies to horse riding - not only, but especially also when you go for a ride in winter.

We try to give you the best possible support with our products. Nevertheless, especially in winter, you must always adapt your speed to the ground and weather conditions in order to prevent accidents as best as possible.

Application and Safety Instructions – Horseshoes with Thread Inserts for the Application of Screw Studs – VIDEO

Whether you simply need a shock-absorbing horseshoe with as much slip protection as possible because of your discipline or whether you are looking for an alternative horseshoe for the winter months: As soon as studs are involved, certain aspects must be given special attention to.

The softer material along with the rounded edges reduces the risk of injuries in a herd situation compared to a metal horseshoe. There are fewer injuries with it; however, injuries can never be completely excluded, in particular when using studs.

As a horse owner, you need to check not only the correct and secure fit of the shoe but also the studs daily and before each use of the horse. Especially with rather aggressive horses, studs can be a risk in a herd situation. If you are a horse owner in a livery stable, please coordinate the use of spikes and studs with the owner of the stable.

Shoeing Instructions - Nailed Hoof Protection

No matter what model you use, you need the necessary knowledge about the correct application.

In our video, Stephan Becker shows you a general shoeing instruction. Please always follow our safety instructions.

If you want to equip a horseshoe with studs, it is especially important to choose the right shape and size of the shoe. You must make sure that the screw thread is positioned in the right place on the hoof.

Important Aspects to Consider when Using Studs

The use of studs always involves certain risks in a herd situation (as described above) but also for the horse and the horseshoe itself. Any use of studs and their monitoring during the shoeing period is the responsibility of the farrier and horse owner.

explain the correct position of studs on the hoof

When used with Studs, the following Conditions must be met in order to Protect the Health of the Horse and the Stability of the Shoe:

1. You must ensure that you choose the correct size of the horseshoe and that the shoe is optimally fitted to the hoof so that the screw threads are positioned in the right place. Incorrect positioning of the threads may lead to the hoof being pressurized and may have a negative impact on the stability of the screw thread within the synthetic material. Damage to the horseshoe and, in extreme cases, a levered-out thread insert can be a possible result.

2. The correct position of the screw inserts is in the heel area. If the threaded inserts are located too far back, the risk of the horse losing the shoe increases. In extreme cases, the rear section of the composite horseshoe may be completely torn away due to the leverage effect. One customer told us about such a case. In this particular situation, the position of the screw threads was completely wrong since they were located far behind the heels.

3. You must choose right stud height depending on the ground conditions and the intended use of the horse. The optimal stud is the 4mm stud with disk. In our opinion, the 6mm stud should only be used if the ground conditions allow it, e.g. if there is an appropriate snow cover. If you use higher studs on your own responsibility, the risk of levering the thread insert out of its position increases.

4. You need to make sure that once you have screwed in the studs, you do not need to change them. The threads in the synthetic material are not suitable for regular stud changes. It is possible to first keep the thread clean with stud blanks until the stud is to be used. However, the model is not designed to constantly screw the stud in and out.

5. During the shoeing period, you must check not only the proper fit and undamaged condition of the horseshoe and quarter clips as usual, but also the studs and the integrated screw threads. A slanted stud or integrated screw thread, for example, is an indication that the fit of the integrated screw thread is no longer optimal.

This model with quarter clips and integrated screw threads is designed to be combined with our 4mm and 6mm studs with disk. We advise against using higher studs with these horseshoes, as the threaded inserts can otherwise be levered out of their position. Please note our general instructions for the use of studs.

Modification: Plastic-welding extensions to a composite horseshoe

Modifications

Threaded shoes, like any other hoof protection, can usually be modified at the farrier's discretion:

  • You may create a horseshoe with a closed sole area by using our synthetic plates.
  • You can modify the breakover in the synthetic material or rocker the metal insert.
  • Make the horseshoe narrower or wider - but always pay attention to the position of the integrated screw threads on the hoof.

If a composite horseshoe does not fit properly, our customers often use the option of broadening it laterally with our extensions or lengthening it backwards as in the picture above. We advise against this when using a model with integrated screw threads. Due to modifications with the extensions, the thread insert is usually no longer in the right position under the heels. When using studs, this may lead to undesired pressure on the hoof.

Why you should use our Anti-Slide Studs with Disk:

Like our horseshoes, our studs are „Made in Germany“. In contrast to many other studs available on the market, our studs are hardened. The key feature of our anti-slide studs is the disk. This primarily serves the better distribution of the pressure - on the one hand in relation to the punctual pressure on the hoof, on the other hand in relation to the stability of the integrated screw thread.

We know that there are various M8 studs on the market and would therefore like to point out that the use of our shoes with studs from other manufacturers is at the sole discretion of the farrier and/or horse owner.

Alternative Hoof Protection in Winter

Admiring the white beauty from the saddle... Riding a horse through a seemingly enchanted forest or galloping across a snow-covered meadow... This is how leisure riders often imagine the winter horse riding season. But what seems so tempting involves many risks.

Particularly in winter, it is important to ensure sufficient protection against slipping and to judge the risk correctly. This risk judgment is always at the discretion of the rider. In winter, we generally recommend choosing additional anti-slide protection in the form of a reinforced profile, spikes or even studs and reducing the speed accordingly.

Tips & Tricks:

Keeping the screw thread of a horseshoe clean

Keep the Integraded Screw Thread Clean until Winter sets in

If you are already placing your winter hoof protection on the hoof before the first snowfall, it makes sense to use stud blanks. They keep the screw threads clean and can be replaced easily by the appropriate studs after the onset of winter.

You can buy stud blanks and studs in our online shop.

Please note, however, that this horseshoe is not suitable for switching several times between stud blanks and studs. For this purpose, you need a horsehoe in which the screw threads are firmly embedded in the metal core.

Horseshoes for a Regular Stud Change

Our clipped and threaded horseshoes without ring-shaped metal inlay are not designed for a regular stud change. If you are looking for a horseshoe that allows you to regularly switch between studs and stud blanks, we recommend a horseshoe with ring-shaped metal inlay. The screw threads of these models are firmly embedded in the metal core. Our models with ring-shaped metal inlay (similar to a heartbar shoe) and solid thread inserts are:

  • The Jumper with four solid thread inserts - two in the toe area and two in the heel area.
  • Our clipped and threaded Straight Toe Shoe with ring-shaped metal inlay and two solid thread inserts in the heel area.
  • The Heavy Duty Shoe "Traction" with four solid thread inserts - two in the toe area and two in the heel area.
  • Our special model: the Open-Toed Horseshoe with quarter clips and two solid thread inserts in the heel area.

Alternative horseshoe, studs and screw lock

Screw Lock for a Secure Hold of the Studs

If you mount the studs in the hoof protection at the onset of winter and they are then to remain permanently, you can add a drip of screw retention or superglue to the screw threads before screwing the studs into the horseshoe.

Of course, you can also buy the screw lock from us.

The Right Shape and Size for your Horse's Hoof
