Full details
The KM Elite Stainless Rollerball Spur is designed for equestrians seeking a humane, precise method to reinforce leg aids without causing discomfort or irritation. Ideal for both daily training and competitive environments, this spur uses a rotating ball mechanism to encourage responsiveness. While it is an excellent tool for sensitive horses, riders should ensure they have a stable lower leg to prevent accidental engagement.

FAQs
Is this spur legal for all competitions?
The KM Elite Stainless Rollerball Spur is designed to be competition legal; however, always check your specific discipline's rulebook as regulations can vary by federation.
Is this suitable for a horse that is sensitive to spurs?
Yes, the rollerball design is specifically intended to reduce friction and harsh contact, making it a popular choice for sensitive horses.
Does the rollerball mark the horse's coat?
Because the ball rolls across the hair rather than dragging, it is far less likely to cause rubbing or hair loss compared to traditional spurs.
How do I maintain the stainless steel?
Keep it clean and dry. Wipe it down after use and store it away from moisture to keep the metal polished and free of corrosion.
Can I use this for dressage training?
Yes, many dressage riders use rollerball spurs to provide subtle, precise cues required for high-level movements.
Troubleshooting
The rollerball is stuck or not spinning.
Clean the area around the ball with warm water or a light degreaser to remove built-up dirt and hair, then ensure it spins freely.
Spur slips down on the boot.
Ensure your boot has a proper spur rest or use a spur strap that is tightened securely to hold the band in place.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Reduces friction and prevents hair loss from rubbing
- Encourages horse responsiveness with minimal pressure
- Durable and rust-resistant material

- Competition legal design
Cons
- Requires a stable lower leg to prevent unintended cues
- May be too mild for horses that are completely desensitized to leg aids
- Roller mechanism requires occasional maintenance to ensure free movement
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure proper fit, slide the spur onto the heel of your riding boot, ensuring the band sits snugly against the spur rest at the back of the boot. The spur should be tight enough that it does not slide while you are mounted.
Compatibility is generally universal across standard English riding boots. For care, wipe the rollerball down with a soft, damp cloth after every ride to remove sweat and dirt. Periodically check the roller to ensure it spins freely; if it becomes stuck due to debris, a quick spray with a silicone-based lubricant can restore smooth operation. Store in a dry place to maintain the finish of the stainless steel.
