As we present you with this excellent collection of Sprenger Spurs, the team here at Discount Equestrian advise you to obtain the advice of a qualified, experienced riding instructor prior to using spurs.
According to various historical sources, spurs have been in use since records began – so, spurs were recorded in use as early as the Roman Empire; and allegedly, spurs were even used by the Celts! Nowadays, spurs are designed to suit specific disciplines, such as dressage or jumping. The purpose of the spur is to support subtle leg aids whilst riding, however, spurs should only be used by highly experienced riders who know exactly how to refine the use of spurs to communicate particular commands to the horse they’re riding. Improper use of spurs can sadly result in harm to the horse, causing potentially irreparable damage to their trust in a rider through injury or over-use that results in fear or a deadening of their response mechanisms to a rider’s leg aids.
Although they are renowned the world over for their top-of-the-range bits, Sprenger® also manufactures high-quality spurs in a brilliant range of styles.
If making your selection from the extensive Sprenger Spurs collection proves challenging, please don’t hesitate to contact the team here at Discount Equestrian and we’d be more than happy to help you find the right set of spurs!
