Klaus Balkenhol, a former Olympic Champion dressage rider, has developed the Balkenhol range of spurs in close partnership with Sprenger. The unique design means that the ‘KB’ spurs fit perfectly on your riding boots, eliminating pressure and movement so that the spur is always in the optimal position for correct use and prevents damage to your boots.
Unisex fitting, easy to bend in or out to fit the size and shape of your boots and with a 100% guarantee against breakage.
The Sprenger Comfort Roller Spurs 47551 model has an extra-large and thick, totally smooth, solid brass ‘wheel’ type rowel that rotates in a horizontal plane instead of the usual vertical plane. This gives a faster and more direct contact plus a softer feel for the horse because of the horizontal rolling action, with a very high level of acceptance. The roller is a full 18mm in diameter and twice the thickness of a standard wheel, giving a greater area of stimulus, but with a softer action that will be helpful for ticklish horses. The smooth rowel revolves smoothly and freely across the horse’s skin, making it both kinder than a blunt spur because it cannot rub, and more effective because the rolling sensation increases the horse’s awareness of the aids without causing irritation and resentment, allowing the horse to respond to the aid willingly. Excellent for horses that have become dull to a blunt spur, the fresh sensation can result in an improved response and reaction time without any tension. Highly recommended.
