Metalab

Metalab is an American brand producing stainless steel spurs and bits. The company is known for introducing the “S” eyelet spur design, which positions the spur strap more securely and improves how the spur sits on the boot.

Spurs

Metalab spurs are made from lightweight stainless steel that resists rust and cleans easily. The range includes options with different shank lengths and rowel styles to suit various disciplines and rider preferences. The signature S-shaped eyelet keeps spur straps from slipping, ensuring consistent contact and positioning.

Bits

The Metalab bit range covers common styles for flatwork and jumping, all manufactured in stainless steel for durability and easy maintenance. Stainless steel is a popular choice for horses that are sensitive to other metals, as it has a neutral taste and consistent temperature in the mouth.

Why Stainless Steel

Stainless steel equipment lasts well with minimal care. Unlike plated metals, it won’t chip or flake over time, and it withstands the wear of daily use. A quick wipe after riding keeps spurs and bits in good condition for years.

Choosing the Right Spur

Spur choice depends on your discipline, leg position and how your horse responds to leg aids. Shorter shanks give a subtler cue, while longer shanks or rowels provide more precise contact. If you need help choosing, get in touch and we can advise based on your riding.
