I just got my first pair of english riding spurs. and i dont know how or where to put the straps. anyone know?

Question

theyre not velcro straps theyre leather and on each of the spurs theres a higher side then the other.

Answer 1

There are loads of types of spurs, but this is just a general way to fit them. Start by fitting the heel of your boot into the U-shaped part of the spur. The spur should rest at the top of the heel, where it meets the body of the boot. Attach the strap from the ankle around the front of the boot, some spurs will have a second strap that should run underneath the boot near to the heel. Make sure the fit is snug, and the spurs shouldn't wobble. If they do then tighten the straps until they don't.

However i wouldn't just jump straight on and start using them, they must be properly introduced. If you need help with this try, MyHorse.com, and check out the spur training section! Good luck with it!

Answer 2

If you don't know how to thread your spurs you shouldn't be using them.

Answer 3

Id throw them away
