Stud Fast Studfast Cone Horse Stud 17mm
Description
Stud Fast Studfast Cone Horse Stud
The Stud Fast Studfast Cone is a mid-sized, cone shaped horse stud with a flat end, measuring 17mm from the base of the thread to the tip and 25mm in total. It is a general purpose stud for riders who want one shape that copes with changeable going, screwing into tapped stud holes for schooling, hacking, jumping and cross-country.
The cone penetrates good to soft ground for added grip, while the flat end means there are no sharp edges to increase the risk of injury. It still offers enough 'edge' to work on hard ground, which makes it a useful choice when the surface varies from one venue to the next.

FAQ
What ground is the Studfast Cone stud best for?
It is a general purpose stud that penetrates good to soft ground, and the cone shape retains enough edge to be effective on hard ground too.
How tall is this stud?
It is 17mm high from the base of the thread to the tip, and 25mm in total including the threaded section.
Are cone studs safer than pointed studs?
The flat end means there are no sharp edges, which helps reduce the risk of injury compared with sharply pointed shapes, though studs should always be removed before travelling and turnout.
Is this stud sold as a pair or singly?
It is sold individually, so you can order the quantity you need and mix shapes between inside and outside heels.
Do I need stud holes in my horse's shoes?
Yes. Studs screw into tapped stud holes, so ask your farrier to put stud holes in at your horse's next shoeing.
How do I look after my studs?
Rinse and dry them after use, store them in a stud box, and replace any stud that has become worn, rounded or damaged.
