About Metalab spurs
Metalab spurs are built for precise, fair communication—clean shapes, reliable materials and options that suit quiet legs and refined aids across training and competition.
Choosing your spur style
From classic Prince of Wales and rounded “soft touch” profiles to hammer-head, roller ball and rowelled designs, Metalab offers subtle variations so you can match your horse’s sensitivity, your discipline and your riding goals.
Neck length and rowel options
Neck lengths typically range from 15–30 mm. Shorter necks and rounded or smooth ends are milder; longer necks and more defined rowels increase clarity—choose the mildest option that achieves a consistent response with a stable lower leg.
Materials and straps
Durable stainless steel gives a crisp, traditional feel, while rubber-coated bodies increase grip and soften contact against the boot. Pair with leather or synthetic straps; fit them snugly so spurs sit level on the heel and do not rotate.
Fit, position and use
Spurs should sit just above the boot heel counter, parallel to the ground. Keep heels down and aids discreet—spurs refine, not replace, the leg. Always ride with fairness and in line with your coach’s and federation’s guidance.
Care and maintenance
Wipe metal and rubber after each ride, check straps and keepers for wear and store as a pair. Regular cleaning prevents boot marking and keeps buckles moving freely.
