SupaStuds was the idea of Bruce Jolly, using his engineering background and 5 years of research and feedback from top riders such as Mary King and competitors from Pony Clubs and Riding Clubs to get the design just right before they were launched in 2005 where they were awarded the Innovations Award for Safety and Security.
SupaStuds are self-cleaning which allows them to be screwed into a show without "tapping-out" the hole. They are also hardened using a high-tech manufacturing process to prolong their life and make them rust-resistant.
