- W2984242275 abstract "Spurs are traditionally worn by riders to enable more precise stimuli or ‘leg aids’ to be applied, prompting for changes in locomotion, activity, or direction of the horse. Equestrian competitions have seen eliminations and horse welfare concerns raised because of the presence of blood on the horse related to spur use. The aims of this study were to describe spur use across equestrian disciplines and identify reported risk factors that are associated with an increased frequency of skin abrasion. An online survey was administered via social media platforms, industry connections, and national online media sources. It included questions on rider demographics, spur design, injury rates, and perception of current competition regulations. Inclusion criteria required that participants were aged at least 18 years, a horse owner/loaner/sharer, and resided in the United Kingdom. Eight hundred fifty-eight participants responded, resulting in 628 complete responses for further analysis, 597 from females (95%) and 31 from males (5%). The majority were aged between 18 and 29 years (47%), with 41 participants (7%) reporting their age at 58 years or older. Nineteen types of equestrian activities were reported and categorized into Federation Equestrian Internationale (FEI) competitive disciplines, non-FEI competitive disciplines, and recreational disciplines. Descriptive statistics, odds ratios, and chi-squared tests were used (IBM SPSS v24.0) with an alpha value set at P < 0.05 (confidence interval 95%) unless otherwise stated. 47% of all participants used spurs. Relationships were found between spur use and gender and duration of years riding. Males were 2.88 times more likely to use spurs than females (P = 0.005). Riders within competitive non-FEI disciplines were 1.53 times more likely to use spurs than recreational riders and 1.48 times more likely to use spurs than those competing in FEI disciplines. Longer spur shanks (>32 mm) significantly increased the risk of skin abrasions or hair loss related to spur use (P < 0.0001). Rotating spur designs were 1.5 times more likely to be associated with injury compared with fixed shank designs. Future research should consider motivational factors for equipment selection and how it then affects the horse. This information may aid policy makers to formulate ethical guidelines for equestrian sport but also extends to inform riders of all levels how their choice of day-to-day equipment can affect equine welfare." @default.
