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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
Explore our Metalab Spurs range—from short, rounded everyday options to refined rowelled models—plus spur straps and keepers for a secure, ring-ready set-up.
Which Metalab spurs are the mildest?
Short necks with rounded or “soft touch” ends are generally the mildest. Start with a shorter, rounded profile and only progress if you need clearer reinforcement.
What spur neck length should I choose?
Most riders do well in 15–25 mm. Shorter works for sensitive horses or close-contact boots; slightly longer can help tall riders or thicker boots reach consistently without excess heel movement.
Are rowelled spurs stronger?
Not always—smooth, free-rolling rowels can be mild when used with a quiet leg. Fixed, sharp or long designs can increase intensity. Select the lightest that gets a reliable response.
Are these spurs competition-legal?
Many styles are widely allowed, but rules vary (e.g., British Showjumping, BD, FEI). Check current regulations for your class before competing.
