At this time of year, many people are starting to use studs if they are eventing, show jumping on grass or concerned about their horse slipping in grass arenas etc. It is an often contested subject with lots of opinions and anecdotes, but sadly very little research. In this podcast, Dr Gillian Tabor will review one research article about using screw-in studs. The Dr David Marlin Team are currently running a survey - Use of Screw-in Studs for Competition Horses – What do you think? In this short survey, we are interested in understanding how and when studs are used. Finding out how stud holes are maintained, the perceived benefits of using studs and if there are any concerns relating to horse injury. This anonymous survey consists of 14 questions, should take no more than 4 minutes to complete. The results will be shared on our website DrDavidMarlin.com and on our social media pages free for all to see.
