Traction systems begin with the surface and rules
Horseshoe Traction Studs and Matching Specifications
Specify the horseshoe and traction component together. The mounting system, hole or thread dimensions, stud profile and associated tools all matter to a purchasing enquiry. Send the existing references so the proposed combination can be reviewed before an order is confirmed.

| Service kit | Plugs, taps, drills, spanners and replacement components |
Order definition
Keep shoe, stud and tool references together
For a wholesale or custom program, list the compatible horseshoe model, stud reference, thread or mounting size, quantity per shoe, plug and tool requirement. This prevents a stud assortment from being sold without the matching preparation and service items.
Custom preparation
Design the stud feature into the horseshoe
RELIA can produce custom shoes and traction preparation from a buyer drawing or approved sample. The location, material thickness, surrounding geometry and inspection method are defined before production so the feature is repeatable across sizes.
Professional use
Selection remains horse-, surface- and rule-specific
Traction changes the interaction between hoof, shoe and ground. Product information supports purchasing, but the final choice and fitting should follow qualified farrier judgment and the current rules of the discipline or racing authority.
Keep a matching record for the complete set
List the shoe model, component reference, mounting dimensions, quantity per shoe and any required plugs or tools. Mark which items are included in the enquiry and which are already supplied by your business.
Do not treat a similar appearance as proof of compatibility. Confirm the combination through the agreed sample review and qualified farrier assessment before adding it to a wholesale range.
