Toklat Women's English Canted Tom Thumb Spurs - 1/2" Neck with Rubber Boot Protection

Refined Precision for the Sensitive Horse

The Toklat English Prince of Wales Canted Tom Thumb Spurs solve the age-old problem of finding a refined aid that respects your horse's sensitivity while ensuring your cues are heard. Whether you are navigating a tight jump course or working on lateral movements, these spurs provide the "just right" amount of encouragement without over-correcting. From our barn to yours, we know that the best equipment is the kind you don't have to think about once you're in the saddle.

Crafted with a 1/2-inch "Tom Thumb" neck, these spurs are categorized as a mild aid, ideal for horses that require only a light nudge. The ergonomic canted design is a game-changer for your leg position; by angling the neck slightly inward, Toklat allows you to make precise contact with less heel rotation, keeping your seat deep and your horse focused on the job at hand.

Key Benefits

• Ergonomic Canted Design for effortless contact. The inward-angled neck allows for precise cues without having to drastically turn your heel, maintaining a quieter, more stable leg position.
• Short 1/2" Tom Thumb Neck for gentle communication. This shorter length provides a mild aid, making it perfect for sensitive or "hot" horses that might overreact to a traditional spur.
• Rubber-Covered Band for boot protection and stability. The rubber grip creates a secure "friction fit" that prevents the spur from sliding down your boot, while shielding your fine leather from friction rubs.
• Tailored Women's Fit designed for the equestrian athlete. The narrower branch width ensures a snug, professional fit on standard women's riding boots without the annoying gap or shift.
• Durable English Styling built for the long haul. These spurs are designed to withstand the rigors of daily schooling while looking polished enough for the hunter, equitation, or dressage ring.

Best For

English riders with sensitive horses or taller riders looking for a mild, ergonomic aid that stays securely in place without damaging their leather boots.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why is the neck canted on these spurs?

The canted (angled) neck on these Toklat spurs is designed to follow the natural curve of the horse's barrel. This allows the rider to apply a cue with a more subtle movement of the heel, promoting a quieter leg.

Q: Will the rubber coating leave marks on my boots?

Quite the opposite! The rubber-covered band on the Toklat Canted Tom Thumb Spur is specifically designed to protect your leather boots from the friction and scratches that bare metal branches can sometimes cause.

Q: Is a 1/2" neck considered a "strong" spur?

No, the 1/2" Tom Thumb neck is considered a very mild aid. It is one of the shortest options available, making it a great choice for riders who want to avoid accidental contact or for horses that are very responsive to leg pressure.
