Waldhausen Spurs

According to Waldhausen, spurs are attached to the riding boots with a spur strap and should be used deliberately and only occasionally when riding, in order to refine the leg aid. Different ends such as prongs, hammerheads or roller balls have different effects.

Waldhausen offers spurs for women, men and children. The gentle contact spurs have a rounded neck and a non-slip lip, and the children’s spurs are rustproof and come with Perlon straps. At Ahrens Reitsport we also stock the children’s spurs with 15 mm Perlon straps.

Waldhausen offers spur straps made of nylon, leather or patent leather and with decorative stones. The Premium spur strap is an infinitely adjustable nylon strap that is sold in pairs. We stock it in black with silver.

To protect your boots from scratches, there are spur guards, for example made of soft leather. According to Waldhausen they protect the boots and prevent the spur from slipping. In addition there is a boot spur guard and a version made of patent leather.

According to Waldhausen, dressage whips are 110 to 120 cm long and are used to activate the horse’s hindquarters. Jumping bats are significantly shorter at 65 to 70 cm and have a flap at the end, that is a wider piece of leather.

Both types of whip are available in many versions, plain or decorated, with leather or plastic handles and also in coloured nylon with reflective strips for the dark. Whips with a lash, on the other hand, are mainly intended for lunging and driving.

During horse training the contact stick extends the person’s arm, both for groundwork and from the saddle. According to Waldhausen, the sturdy stick enables precise signals, and the handle is rubberised.

Waldhausen offers it in two sizes: 100 cm stick length with 1.75 m lash length and 120 cm stick length with 1.90 m lash length. At Ahrens Reitsport we stock the contact stick in blue and black with a length of 1.20 m.
