Tom Thumb Spur SS

Description

Rowland Stainless Steel Tom Thumb Spurs are a type of English riding spur known for their gentle and unobtrusive design, making them suitable for novice riders or those with sensitive horses. These spurs are characterized by their small, short shank and slightly rounded or blunt end.

Tom Thumb spurs feature a short neck, typically less than an inch in length, with a rounded or slightly blunt end. The neck is straight, ensuring minimal pressure is applied to the horse’s sides, thus providing a gentle aid.

These spurs are usually made from durable stainless steel, which ensures longevity and resistance to rust. They are designed to be lightweight and easy to manage, making them ideal for everyday riding and training sessions.

The primary function of Tom Thumb spurs is to enhance the rider’s leg aids subtly. They are used to encourage the horse to move forward or to refine lateral movements without causing discomfort. The gentle nature of these spurs makes them particularly suitable for young or green horses.
