FAQs

Are these spurs suitable for beginners?

These are considered more humane and precise than traditional spurs, but they should only be used by riders who have independent lower leg control.

Can I use these for competition?

Yes, these spurs are generally permitted in most dressage and jumping competitions, but always check your local federation's rulebook regarding neck length and roller types.

Will the rubber damage my boots?

No, the rubber coating is specifically designed to protect your boot leather from the wear typically caused by hard metal spurs.

How do I choose between 25mm and 35mm?

The choice depends on the horse's size and sensitivity; the 25mm is often preferred for more sensitive horses or smaller riders, while the 35mm offers a longer reach.

How should I clean the rubber coating?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using oil-based leather cleaners or harsh detergents on the rubberized portions.

Troubleshooting

Spur shifts position during riding

Ensure the boot is clean and dry before sliding the spurs on, as dirt or polish residue can reduce the friction of the rubberized inner surface.

Roller becomes stiff

Rinse the roller area with fresh water to remove dried mud or grit, then apply a tiny amount of food-grade silicone lubricant if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reduces pressure points on the horse's side
  • Prevents slippage thanks to the grip coating
  • Protects leather boot surfaces from scuffs
  • Provides precise and clear communication cues
  • High-quality, durable materials

Cons

  • Rubber coating can show wear over long periods
  • Requires careful cleaning to preserve the rubber texture
  • Specific 25mm neck length may not suit all horse types

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a proper fit, slide the spurs onto your boots until the heel band is snug against the heel seat. Because of the rubberized finish, you should avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive brushes when cleaning. Simply wipe the spurs down with a damp cloth after every ride to remove sweat and dirt. For the best longevity, store them in a dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the rubber material to degrade over time. These spurs are compatible with most standard adult English-style tall boots.
