Pockettool X Piranha in action!

OK, I didn't expect that use!

Do you have a picture of the rest of the horse?

[Mr. Whippy]

I don't.  This is a boarder's horse.  The owner needed some help to get ready for a field jumping lesson.

Are those 'spikes', the tool is tightening/loosening, for horseshoe traction?

Exactly!  They're called studs.  The ones I'm putting in are called small grass studs.  They make huge hurking ones called mud studs.  They come in many sizes and shapes (But all are cut to 5/16 coarse thread.

Cool!  I imagine they'd be a big help on wet grass, mud, or ice...  Makes me wonder how often horses slip and fall, then get up quick hoping no one saw them, lol...

That was a cool photo, thanks Mr. Whippy.

[mudtoy]

Is that the horse equivalent of stilettos?  Very sexy!



I'll bet the guys at Pockettool X never envisioned anyone using it on horses.  You should send that pic to them- they may want to use it for their advertising.

Mat,

If you look in the picture, near the toe, there are rectangular thingies in the shoe.  Those are the nails that hold the shoe on.  The shoe has threaded holes in it, for the studs.  The studs come out after the horse is done working.  You wouldn't want to get kicked by a horse with studs in...

OK yep I see them now  .

Nate do just 2 studs help that much  not like the sprigs you find on football/soccer boots 

We have just one lot of horsey friends who's 10 year old daughter got kicked by a horse as a toddler  . She just has a small scar near her eye as the only evidence of the kick  ,  VERY lucky young girl

Yep.  Just studs in the heel of the shoe.  The horse's hoof is really the most distal phalanx of the middle "finger".  When they need to stop or turn, they push down on the heel of the hoof, which is why the studs go there.  Acceleration is due to heel strike, rolled onto the toe for push off.  The toe actually cuts into turf very effectively, although some shoes come with a small ridge at the toe to assist.

If it's all the same to you, I'd really rather avoid getting kicked by a horse altogether.

I've been kicked a number of times.  Never fun.  I've been bitten a few times, but only once by any horse.

Did you shod the horse yourself? Btw, nice pic. Thats alot better than making the shoe with studs or cleats.

No, we have a professional farrier who trims their feet and adjusts the shoes to fit.  In those guys who get studs, he also drills and taps them as well.  There's actually an amazing amount of science in properly shoeing a horse.
