Mackey Pointed Jump Stud for Horses
Description
Mackey Pointed Jump Stud - Grip for Firm Going
The Mackey Pointed Jump Stud is a screw-in horseshoe stud that gives a horse extra grip when jumping. It is best for eventing and for hard or firm ground, where the pointed profile bites into dry, compacted surfaces on turns, take-offs and landings.
It suits event riders, show jumpers and hunting riders whose shoes are already drilled and tapped for studs. The stud is supplied singly, so you can build a set that matches your horse's shoes and the going you usually ride on. Browse more horse riding accessories to complete your competition kit.

FAQ
What ground is a pointed jump stud for?
Pointed studs are generally used on hard, dry or firm going. Blunter, squarer studs are usually chosen for soft or muddy ground.
Is this stud sold as a pair or a set?
It is sold as a single stud, so order the quantity you need to make up your front and hind sets.
Will it fit my horse's shoes?
It fits shoes that have been drilled and tapped for screw-in studs. Thread sizes vary between farriers, so check your hole size before ordering.
Can I leave studs in between uses?
No. Studs should be removed after work. Horses should not be travelled, stabled or turned out with studs left in place.
How many studs should I use?
