Horse Riding Spurs & Straps

Nearly twenty spurs and straps published for the UK. Metalab supplies most of the patterns, including the Hammerhead and the Prince of Wales. Sprenger adds a handful, the Ultra Fit among them. Dyon covers the leather spur straps, with single pieces from Lami-Cell and Walsh. The patterns run from soft rounded ends to rollers, so most legs, horses and disciplines are catered for from one drawer - a drawer that happens to sit in Ireland.

What Metalab and Sprenger each bring

Metalab carries the weight of the page; Sprenger brings its Ultra Fit engineering to the rest. Between a Prince of Wales, a Hammerhead and a roller there is enough range here to suit a horse that needs a whisper and one that needs a clearer word.

A small parcel moves fast

Spurs weigh next to nothing, so they travel in the lightest postage band; current rates are on the shipping page. DHL Express takes 1 to 2 working days to mainland Britain from the shelf in Tipperary. UK VAT and any import duty are collected at checkout and paid for you, so there is nothing to pay at the door.

Straps, sizing and sending back

Dyon's leather spur straps are here so worn straps never hold up good spurs. If a pattern is not right on the horse, return it within 30 days in original condition; you cover the return postage on a change of mind. Questions on shank lengths or fit go to info@equijumpltd.com.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of riding spurs do you stock?

We carry Metalab as the anchor brand for stainless and rubber-coated spurs across rounded, rowel, hammerhead and soft-touch patterns. We also stock Equijump Ltd own-brand Prince of Wales spurs, plus spur straps from Dyon, Walsh, Lami-Cell and Metalab to pair with any spur.
How do I choose the right spur length?

A short shank suits sensitive horses, pony riders, or anyone moving up from no spurs. A medium shank is the everyday default for adult riders. A longer shank gives more reach for tall riders or horses that respond best to a clearer cue. Start short and lengthen only if you genuinely need more.
What is the difference between rounded, Prince of Wales and roller spurs?

Rounded (or "ball end") spurs have a smooth-ended shank - the gentlest pattern, used for everyday flatwork and for riders new to spurs. Prince of Wales spurs have a flat, slightly squared end - the show-ring standard, slightly more direct than rounded. Roller spurs (rowel pattern) have a rotating wheel at the end of the shank - more pronounced, used for horses that need a clearer leg cue.
Are spurs allowed in competition?

Most show jumping, hunter and dressage classes allow spurs at most levels. Specific patterns (long shanks, sharp rowels) are restricted in some classes - always check the rule book before competing. Pony classes typically restrict spur length more strictly than adult classes.
Which spur brands do you carry?

Metalab covers most patterns at sensible price points. Equijump Ltd own-brand Prince of Wales spurs are the value choice. For specialist patterns from Sprenger and other top-tier German makers, see our specialised bits collection (Sprenger spurs are mixed in there); for everyday spurs, this collection covers the range.
How should I introduce a young rider to spurs?

Start with a short, soft-touch spur (Metalab Soft Touch Horizontal or rubber-coated) and an anti-slip nylon strap. The young rider should ride with the spur in place but not actively use it for several weeks - the goal is to first ensure the spur doesn't accidentally cue the horse before the rider learns to use it deliberately.
