FAQs
Are these spurs suitable for beginners?
These are generally recommended for experienced riders with a stable, independent leg, as they can cause accidental interference if the rider is still learning to control their lower leg.
Can I replace the included straps?
Yes, the eyelets are compatible with most standard English spur straps if you prefer a different material or color.
Are these legal for competition?
The Prince of Wales style with a 20mm neck is widely accepted in most equestrian disciplines, but always verify specific rulebooks for your local or regional organization.
How do I ensure the correct fit?
The spurs should sit evenly on the boot and feel secure without causing pressure points or discomfort to the rider.
Will these rust if used in wet weather?
They are constructed from 'Never Rust' materials, making them highly resistant to corrosion, though they should still be dried after use in rainy conditions.
Troubleshooting
Spurs sliding down while riding
Ensure the straps are tightened securely and positioned snugly against the heel block of the boot.
Buckle rubbing against the horse
Rotate the spurs slightly so the buckle faces outward away from the horse’s side.
Metal surface losing shine
Use a specialized stainless steel polish to restore the finish and prevent surface oxidation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Korsteel spurs, thread the provided braided straps through the eyelets on each shank. Ensure the buckle of the strap is positioned on the outer side of your riding boot for easy adjustment and to prevent interference with the horse's flank. The spurs should rest firmly above the heel block of your boot, preventing them from sliding down while riding. Compatibility-wise, these spurs fit most standard English riding boots. For care, wipe down the metal surface after every use with a damp cloth to remove sweat or dirt. Periodically inspect the braided straps for signs of fraying or wear and replace them if the integrity of the material is compromised to ensure a secure fit at all times.
