I always use a stud guard for jumping even if I don't have studs in.

We always use stud girths when jumping our horses. We use them wether we're using studs or not. The training they've had makes them really tuck their front legs up & the stud girth is covered with marks. Rather damage to the girth than their belly.

If you don't want to fork out for full stud girth these are great. first one is very good but also pretty expensive.

I've got a Comfort Zone one which is brilliant - £65. Nice and flexible, very light. Actually, I'm thinking about selling it as sadly I no longer use it due to new saddle having long straps, so PM me if interested!
