Question #18: We have some more questions about studs: What are the guidelines for choosing where to put the holes? What do you use to fill the holes when you're not using studs so they don't get all packed with dirt?

(just stuff cotton in there? does it stay?) When would you put studs on all four feet? Is it ok to only drill the back shoes? (to reduce cost). Thanks! (Briana)

Your farrier should know where to put the stud holes. He will either use a machine, or will have to drill and tap them by hand. They are usually an inch or so from the heels of the shoe like this:
