LPO changes and SPRENGER products

What's changing with the new LPO

With the latest changes to the performance test regulations (LPO), horse welfare is increasingly becoming the focus in German competition sport. From regulations that make it easier for older horses to enter the sport, to a limited number of tests that the youngest sport horses are allowed to take, to changes to the rider's permitted equipment, the new LPO requires attention before the next tournament start.

Which SPRENGER products are affected?

You ride with SPRENGER products and were wondering whether something will change for you?

With the LPO 2026, spurs with a toothed rowel are no longer allowed in shoow-jumping as well as dreassage. Apart from that, the spurs may be a maximum of 40mm long from the boot to the end of the neck. Formerly, this only affected show-jumping, but the rule now also applies to dressage tests. Pay attention to the information under the product name in our store! The length stated in the product name only refers to the neck length, not the length from the boot!

Der Stiefel ist mit einem Steigbügel verbunden, der aus Metall gefertigt ist. Im Hintergrund ist unscharf eine Reithalle zu erkennen. Die gesamte Komposition vermittelt das Gefühl von Reitsport und Bewegung.

Alternativ till sporrar med solhjul


Om du vill fortsätta använda hjulsporrar rekommenderar vi sporrar med stort kulhjul eller sporrar med litet kulhjul. Sporrar med Comfort Roller är också ett bra alternativ, eftersom de breda, mjuka hjulen passar särskilt bra för känsliga hästar med känslig hud. Våra ULTRA fit-sporrar kan anpassas perfekt till stövlarna och sitter optimalt tack vare Balkenhol-öglan. ULTRA fit EXTRA GRIP-modellerna är dessutom belagda med högkvalitativ gummi som förhindrar att sporrarna glider och samtidigt skyddar stövlarnas läder.

Om du vill ha en mer punktuell effekt rekommenderar vi sporrar med rak spets. Här finns de populära ULTRA fit-modellerna även i SLIMLINE-version för alla som föredrar en mer filigran look. SPRENGER bootprotect-sporrar har dessutom en invändig gummibeläggning som skyddar stövlarnas läder och garanterar ett halkfritt grepp.

Alternative to spurs over 40mm long

Are you super happy with the spur model from SPRENGER and they are just a little too long for the new LPO requirements? No problem, we offer all our models in different spur lengths, so you can also find your current model in a shorter version and don't have to switch to another pair of spurs. Of course, you can still use your current spurs for training.

Nya krav på bett för prov


Helt nytt sedan LPO 2024 är dressyrprovet i klass S. Detta rids alltid med kander, eftersom även ryttarens kanderfärdighet ska testas. Som vanligt ska även dressyrprov i klass S** ridas med kander. En annan nyhet är en dressyrhästprov i klass S, där det (precis som vid prov i klass L inklusive S*) kan anges i utlysningen om provet ska ridas med träns eller kandare.

Hoppningstävlingen, som är analog med hoppningstävlingen för hästar, underlättar för äldre hästar, från 7 år, att komma in i tävlingssporten
i klasserna A* till M**. Här gäller reglerna enligt klasserna.

Nytt är vanliga hoppningstävlingen enligt Clear Round-bedömningsmetoden för 4–6-åringar. I denna tävling är endast enkla eller dubbla brutna bett tillåtna.

PART OF YOUR PASSION.
