• fairRider Spurs - Aluminum, 20 mm shank, black, thick, rounded, blue

The new fairRider spurs from Sprenger offer a practical alternative to conventional spurs for working with horses that are sensitive to pressure on their flanks. They are a useful aid for horses that occasionally overreact to localized pressure or even become uncooperative (e.g., by swishing their tails or kicking out after being spurred).

Unlike standard spurs, the fairRider spurs do not have a spike but rather a bar that is rounded on all sides. This creates a wider contact surface, ensuring a more even distribution of pressure. Tests have shown that sensitive horses find this sensation more comfortable, are happier, and respond better to the rider’s aids. In addition, the smooth, wide surface is gentler on the coat, as it reduces localized friction.

All the benefits at a glance:

• ideal for getting horses used to spurs
• Gentle on the skin and coat thanks to a larger, smooth, and rounded contact surface
• For horses sensitive to leg aids (e.g., those that swish their tails or kick out after being spurred)
• for desensitizing horses that do not respond well to conventional spurs
• reduces the distance between the rider’s thigh and the horse’s belly
• Lightweight and comfortable to wear
