The plugingo spike hole plug is intended for short-term use but can be used several times if you are careful with the threads.

Plugingo is a swedish patented invention that consists of a core of metal surrounded by plastic. The metal acts as reinforcement and prevents the plug from being pushed into the spike hole or the plug becomes deformed under load. The plastic makes the plug easy to screw in and out with the help of a standard screwdriver. Several factors - including the horse´s weight, surface and how long the plug has been in the horseshoe - affect how tight the plug is and it can sometimes be difficult to unscrew. A good aid is then an angle screwdriver that gives you more power when screwing.
