• Stainless steel

• Spur placement

The spur is placed just above the heel, centered at the back of the boot. The shank should be horizontal, pointing backward, without pointing down or out. A well-positioned spur works with a slight ankle movement, without lifting the heel or stiffening the leg.

• Strap adjustment

Pass the strap through the eyelets of the spur, then fasten it on the outside of the boot. The strap should be adjusted firmly but not tightly, to prevent the spur from turning while leaving the ankle free. A strap that is too tight blocks the ankle; too loose, the spur becomes imprecise.

• For precise action

Spurs are a subtle and occasional aid, reserved for riders with a stable leg. They should never cause continuous pressure.

The real secret to spurs that last and remain precise? Keep them clean and well-adjusted.

After each session, take 30 seconds to wipe them down: sand, mud, or moisture quickly attacks the metal and strap. A damp cloth is enough.
For a thorough cleaning, use a little mild soap and a fine brush to remove dirt ingrained in the gears or teeth.

Pro tip: always dry them completely before storing them, and regularly check the straps that secure them. Nothing ruins a spur more than moisture remaining in the metal. And most importantly: adjust them correctly. Too loose = shaking and noise, too tight = discomfort for both the horse and you. Spurs should slide slightly on the boot, without turning.

In short: quick wipe after work, regular gentle cleaning, complete drying, and perfect adjustment. With this, your spurs will remain precise, safe, and comfortable.
