Why
Use Turf King Horse Shoe Studs?
Made in Sweden by Mustad, a worldwide leader
in farrier and horseshoe equipment, Turf King studs offer
high quality that equestrians want. Turf King studs have been
crafted out of case hardened steel, reinforced with a tungsten
carbide tip, welded in place. This tip helps extend the life
of the stud as it receives the most impact. Turf King studs
are available through fine equestrian stores throughout the
world. The Libertyville Saddle Shop, Inc. has the privilege
of being the exclusive U.S. importer of the Turf King line.

- Stud
Types:
Our studs are classified by 3 general groups: Road,
Grass and Mud Studs.
- Road Studs are shorter and flatter.
They can be used on paved roads, hard packed trails and
the like.
- Grass Studs are much taller and preferred
by riders for grass turf, sand arenas and some hard packed
trails.
- Mud Studs are used on extremely soft
or wet riding surfaces where deep traction help is needed.
Generally, the softer the surface, the taller the stud
that may be needed. Please note that you would not want
to use a tall grass stud on a paved surface. If you are
unsure of what type to use, please consult your farrier,
trainer or riding instructor.
-
Do All Riders Use The Same Studs?
No. A rider's knowledge of the turf they will ride on
and their own personal preference will determine what
stud will work best for them. Many riders often use different
types of studs on the front shoes and on the back shoes;
again, this is from their personal tastes. Advice from
your trainer or other horse professionals can help you
in your choices.

How Long Do Studs Last?
Studs are not intended to last forever and they are not
recommended to leave in place when not riding. Just as
other equipment wears out, shoe studs will become worn
due to varying conditions of a rider's use.
- How Do You Put the Studs in the Shoe ?
Our Turf King studs are a screw in type and have a 3/8"
thread. Most people have their farrier tap or create the
stud holes in the shoes for them. The empty stud holes
can be packed with an oiled cotton plug until ready to
use. the studs simply screw in place. When done, remove
the studs and repack holes with cotton plugs. Cotton plugs
are inexpensive and prove to be better than metal or rubber
stud blanks.
