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 preventing 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 pastry or star rowel (also known as cookie-cutter) has completely blunt and round edges. It revolves smoothly and freely across the horse’s skin, making it both kinder than a blunt spur because it doesn’t rub, and more effective because the rolling and slight ‘bumping’ 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 improved response and reaction time without any tension.
Highly recommended.
