studs for xc - views

[wench]

just wondering what people's views for using studs for xc are? (talking 3ft courses...)

Always use them for competing, not so much for schooling. I use 2 behind, and at the moment either a road stud or nothing infront.

Stud holes are a must have

More horses than you would think fall over, and I saw one go over at a BSJA show that had studs all round.

I was one that never used studs, that was untill this year. I now never compete without studs in.

For cross country & showjumping, I use either medium sized dome studs if soft going, or medium pointys if it's firm (2 in each hind) none in the front.

same size courses.

I generally only use them behind (2 in each). Depends on the ground though, sometimes don't need them. I'll only use in front if it's really bad but even then only small studs (and 2 in each). Good all round studs are the small conical ones from supastuds. They can cope with slipping in front a lot more than behind.
