Amendment to Spur Rule

Please note that there will be amendments to the spurs rule (details are shown below).  This will be implemented from 1 October 2014:

Rule 101.9 - Spurs
Spurs of excessively severe design are not to be worn. Such designs include spurs with necks in excess of 3cms long, spurs with necks set on the inside of the heel, spurs with rowel diameters in excess of 1cm, spurs with roughened or cutting edges, serrated spurs, with or without necks.

 

Spurs are only to be worn in the traditionally correct manner, with the curve of the neck of the spur directed downwards.

The misuse of spurs is an offence under Rule 82.4, but riders must also take care that the manner in which they use their spurs does not offend the public contrary to Rule 82.1.

In pony competitions, only blunt spurs or with plastic roller balls on the end may be worn. The overall length is not to exceed 2.5cm measured from back of the riders boot.

Pointed, sharp and rowelled spurs are forbidden in these competitions.

Spurs made of plastic are not allowed, however, Metal spurs with a plastic ball on the end are allowed.
