Maintain Control with Horse Spurs

Communicate clearly and establish a strong connection with your horse using riding spurs. Attached to a rider’s boot, these metal tools will refine your movements for training, dressage and competition.

At EQ Saddlery, we work with leading names who continue to champion innovation in equestrian sports. We’ve curated a diverse collection of spurs. Find brands like Jin Stirrup, LeMiuex, Zilco, Saddlery Trading, and more in our range.

Move with Confidence and Clarity

Spurs reinforce the aid that the rider’s leg is providing to encourage the horse’s movements. Much like a riding crop, they help the rider stay in control and communicate clearly with their horse.

We stock a range of styles to suit different disciplines – whether you prefer western spurs, dressage spurs for precise movements during events, roller ball spurs for gentle encouragement or rowel spurs on competition days.

FAQs

Why do riders use spurs?

Horse riding spurs can provide a number of benefits:

• Refine precise movements
• Reinforce leg aids
• Improve responsiveness
• Help advanced training

Should beginners use spurs? 

Beginners are not encouraged to use riding spurs immediately, because they should focus on independent balance, correct seat position and effective natural leg aids before using tools. 

Do riding spurs hurt the horse? 

When used correctly, spurs will not hurt your horse. Riding spurs should apply pressure with light, controlled contact rather than anything that might cause pain.

How do you wear riding spurs correctly?

Spurs should typically be worn:

• On the heel of riding boots
• With the shank pointed downward
• Secured with specific spur straps
