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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What Metalab spurs do you stock?

We carry the Metalab spur range across Prince of Wales (regular and rounded), Round Rowel, Hexagon Rowel, Hammerhead, and Soft Touch patterns (regular and horizontal), in stainless steel, with-rubber and rubber-coated finishes. Anti-slip nylon spurs straps are also stocked separately.

Are you an authorised Metalab dealer in Ireland?

Yes. Equijump Ltd. is an authorised Metalab stockist in Ireland.

How do I choose the right Metalab spur?

Pattern depends on the level of feel you want. Soft Touch (Horizontal or with Rubber) suits riders moving up from no spurs and horses sensitive to leg pressure. The Prince of Wales pattern is the everyday standard - rounded edge, no rowel. The Round Rowel and Hexagon Rowel give a more pronounced ask. The Hammerhead is the most direct of the lot. Always pair with a non-slip strap (we stock the Metalab nylon strap separately).

How do I size or fit a Metalab spur?

Spur shanks come in standard lengths - shorter for pony riders or sensitive horses, longer where more reach is needed. The spur should sit at the seam of your boot heel, with the shank pointing inward and slightly upward toward the horse's side. The strap should hold the spur firm without crushing the heel of the boot.

How should I care for Metalab spurs?

Wipe down after each ride to clear sweat from the shank and rowel. Stainless steel doesn't need polishing. Inspect the strap regularly for wear. Rubber-coated spurs can be checked for splits at the same time.

Can you advise on a Metalab spur for my horse?

Yes. Tell us your discipline, your boot, and what you're trying to ask of the horse, and we'll shortlist appropriate Metalab patterns. If you're new to spurs, the Soft Touch range with the Anti-Slip Nylon Spurs Strap is usually the right starting point.

Where are Metalab spurs made?

The Metalab spur range we stock is primarily manufactured in China, with the Anti-Slip Nylon Spurs Strap from Vietnam. Metalab is part of the Lami-Cell group; design and quality control sit at brand level.
