caulkin
A caulkin (or ''caulk''; US spelling "calkin" or "calk") from the Latin ''calx'' (the heel) is a blunt projection on a horseshoe that is often forged, welded or brazed onto the shoe.〔"Know Foot Know Horse", knowfootknowhorse.com, 2008, webpage: (KnowFKH-20 )〕〔"Farrier Competition Results 2008", Forge and Farrier, UK, 2008, webpage: (FaF-2008 )〕 The term may also refer to traction devices screwed into the bottom of a horseshoe, also commonly called shoe studs or screw-in calks. These are usually a blunt spiked cleat, usually placed at the sides of the shoe.
==Use==
Caulkins or studs improve a horse's balance and grip over uneven or slippery terrain, allowing the animal to move better and jump more confidently in poor footing. Screw in calks are most often seen in speed sports, such as eventing, polo, and show jumping, although they are sometimes used for dressage. Forged caulks of various styles more often seen on race horses and on working animals such as draft horses and some packhorses and trail horses, though in some areas they are still seen on field hunters and other riding horses that have to work in all weather and require extra traction, such as police horses.
