Special Spurs – specific shapes for refined aids
Are you looking for special spurs that truly suit you and your horse? Then you've come to the right place. Here you will find spurs with unique shapes that go beyond classic models. Whether you're refining your aids in the arena or want to give clearer cues on a hack.
What makes this category special: It's all about spurs for targeted aiding. Curved shanks, rounded ends, anatomical shapes – each variant has its purpose. This way, you'll find the exact model that matches your riding style and your horse's sensitivity.
Why Special Spurs Make a Difference
A good spur is never a punishment, but a language. With the right shape, you give your leg aid more precisely and subtly – without overwhelming your horse. Sensitive horses, in particular, will thank you for a gentle solution with a ball or rounded end.
If, on the other hand, you need a clear impulse, a longer or curved spur shank will help. The important thing always remains: the spur supports your aid; it does not replace it. If you are unsure which shape is suitable, simply contact us in the chat – we will advise you honestly.
Brand Quality That Lasts
Our range includes models from Sprenger– a brand known for well-designed spurs made of high-quality stainless steel. In addition, we carry other selected premium brands, so you have a genuine choice. The material, workmanship, and fit are simply perfect here.
Do you value the overall experience? Understandable. That's why we ship from Germany, you can conveniently purchase on account, and get quick advice if you have any questions. This makes the search for the right special spurs even more enjoyable.
Finding the Right Shape
When buying, pay attention to three things: the length of the spur shank, the shape of the end, and the fastening. Short shanks have a subtle effect, longer ones provide more reach. You should also consider matching spur strapsright away, otherwise even the most beautiful spur won't sit correctly.
Are you still unsure about the shape? Then feel free to take a look at classic spurs & whipsand compare the variants at your leisure. In the end, it's the feeling in the saddle that counts: with the right special spurs, you give subtle aids, your horse remains supple, and you both enjoy the work more.

These are spurs with unique shapes that go beyond standard models – for example, with a curved shank, ball, or anatomical shape. They help you to give your aids even more precisely.
Which spurs are suitable for a sensitive horse?
For sensitive horses, models with a rounded end or a ball are often suitable. They have a gentler effect and prevent unpleasant pressure. If in doubt, we are happy to advise you in the chat.
How do I find the correct spur length?
That depends on your leg length and riding style. A calm, long leg usually works well with short shanks, while shorter legs benefit from a bit more length.
Do I also need spur straps?
