I bought a pair of Mark Todd rollerball/impulse spurs from ebay at the weekend, and they arrived today. The length of the shank surprised me as they seem quite long, but have looked on internet and these MT spurs only come in 20mm or 30mm lengths so am guessing mine are 30mm but I measured them, and they seemed to be 35-40mm? They are brand new and came with the tags. Rode in them tonight and horse was really good so am chuffed, but was wondering how long your impulse spurs are?
 
Hmm I'm guessing a max of 30mm for mine, though not measured but look that. (They aren't MT though)
They are quite good but I don't know if I'll use mine again just yet!
 
Are these the ones with the rubber rollerball on the end? I bought some on Friday to do dressage on Saturday. After warming up and riding the first test I looked down and the rubber ball had come off both spurs leaving quite a sharp spike!! A friend said the same thing happened to hers. Wouldn'e buy another pair. If these aren't the ones you're talking about, sorry x
 
Looks like the ones I bought, obviously can't say if the ball was rubber or plastic as they're somewhere in a dressage arena! Mine were Mark Todd though, just keep an eye on the balls (that sounds a bit rude but you know what I mean lol!) I was really shocked that they broke so easily. Thankfully the tack shop gave me my money back, shame though because I really liked the idea of them. Good luck with yours, sorry I can't help with size.
