Care for spurs
Spurs get dirty over time through skin flakes and dirt from the horse, as well as through the leather of the boots and dust. However, due to the dirt or even worse rust, its properties change. If the surface is no longer smooth with drop spores, they can get caught in the skin and erase over it. This is very unpleasant for the horse and quickly leads to bald, open spots on the horse's belly.
Dirty spurs bear a risk of injury
Regular care is even more important for cog spores. If the wheel stops spinning, they are very unpleasant for the horse, especially the jagged wheels. Therefore, before every use you should test whether the wheel is still spinning freely.
Spurs can be cleaned easily with water and, if necessary, a little rinse. It is important to dry everything well afterwards to prevent rust and new dust from sticking immediately. The axis of wheel spurs is happy to receive a drop of oil every now and then. However, it is important that it is an oil that does not resinify.
By the way, it is also important to check spurs regularly for damage. A broken spur handle can injure the horse just like a broken thorn.
