Description
Stud Fast Studfast Flat Dome Horse Studs
The Stud Fast Studfast Flat Dome is a small, low-profile horse stud that screws into a pre-tapped stud hole to give extra grip and stability. It stands 10mm high from the base of the thread to the tip, 18mm in total, and is best for young horses, novice riders, surface jumping, turnout and travelling.
Not dissimilar to the traditional polo stud, the Flat Dome has a little more edge than a plain dome while keeping a rounded, forgiving profile, and it remains fully legal for polo, polocrosse and horse racing.

FAQ
How tall is the Studfast Flat Dome stud?
It measures 10mm high from the base of the thread to the tip, and 18mm in total length including the threaded section.
Is the Flat Dome stud legal for competition?
The Flat Dome is fully legal for polo, polocrosse and horse racing. For other disciplines, check the current rules of your governing body before competing in studs.
What is the difference between a flat dome and a dome stud?
A flat dome has slightly more edge than a plain dome, so it bites a little more into the going, while still keeping a low, rounded profile that is kinder than a pointed grass stud.
Which horses is this stud best for?
It is well suited to young horses and less experienced riders, and to jumping on an all-weather surface, turnout in changeable ground and travelling.
Can I leave studs in while the horse is stabled or travelling?
Studs should be removed before the horse is stabled or left loose in a trailer or lorry. If the horse travels shod with studs in, use travel boots and take advice from your farrier.
Will these studs fit my horse's shoes?
They fit standard pre-tapped stud holes. If your shoes are not tapped, ask your farrier to fit stud holes at the next shoeing and confirm the thread size.
