Just wanted to get some opinions re studs. I have in the past used studs behind, just one on the outside of each hoof, on a surefooted horse.
B is next being shod mid March which will take him up to end of April and include hunter trials, a ODE and Cricklands SJ champs which I believe is all on grass.
He's not the most sure footed of horses so I'm wondering whether to stud him all round? Seems a bit extreme given we will be jumping 85cm max? What's the general thoughts on studs- I haven't used them enough to have much of an opinion!! Its the SJ/DR on grass that I'm most concerned about.
I know he will never have had studs in before.
