Elevate your riding precision without compromising your horse's comfort using the Shires Plastic Roller Ball Spurs. These innovative aids are the ultimate solution for riders seeking a gentle, rub-free way to deliver clear cues to sensitive or thin-skinned horses.

Engineered for durability and ethical horsemanship, these spurs feature a high-quality stainless steel frame that resists rust and wear through daily training. The standout feature is the free-rotating PVC roller ball, which glides across the horse's barrel to disperse pressure evenly, ensuring your leg aids are felt as a subtle nudge rather than a sharp jab, fostering a more harmonious partnership.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Humane Roller Ball Design: The smooth plastic ball rolls across the skin to prevent friction and "spur rubs," making it the gold standard for sensitive or thin-skinned horses.
• 30mm Neck Length: The standard 1.2-inch neck provides the perfect reach for precise contact with the barrel without requiring an exaggerated leg position.
• Durable Stainless Steel Frame: Constructed from premium stainless steel for exceptional longevity and a professional finish that withstands the rigors of the stable.
• Gender-Specific Fit: Available in Ladies (narrower branch) and Gents (wider branch) options to ensure a secure, slip-free fit on any riding boot.
• Refined Communication: Specifically designed for dressage and flatwork training to help riders deliver nuanced cues and improve horse responsiveness.
• Forgiving Application: An ideal choice for riders or horses new to spurs, offering a gentle introduction to leg refinement without the risk of over-correction.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I know which size to choose?
A: Selection is based on your boot width. The "Ladies" size features a narrower branch designed for standard women's riding boots, while the "Gents" size is wider to accommodate the broader heel of men's boots (typically UK sizes 8–12).

Q: Do these spurs come with straps included?
A: These spurs are sold as a pair without straps. This allows you to pair them with your preferred leather or nylon spur straps to ensure a personalized and secure fit to your boots.

Q: Are these spurs suitable for horses that mark easily?
A: Absolutely. The rolling PVC ball is specifically designed to eliminate the "jabbing" sensation of traditional spurs, significantly reducing the risk of marks, hair loss, or irritation on sensitive horses.
