oh, I see lol, I was gonna freak out for a second, because the ones second from the right are REALLY sharp. Just pushing them against bare skin can cut you like a knife...

I don't really like spurs, but if the horse needs them then yes you should use them and like cowboysgirl said you should know how to use them.

Really, for sporting, we chuck spurs on any little kid in out club (really only dummie spurs) to get their horse going faster then it could ever think of going

Well, as I said before, I don't needs spurs, but always wear them. In case I need the horse to have a quicker response when moving the sheep, etc. Most of my horses, you just touch them with your calf muscles and the will spin the other way.

Mate it sounds like you have really good horses! I only use spurs occasionally, I haven't used them riding english at all just western. I don't see what is at all wrong with spurs unless you are digging into your horse's sides with them.

I have a spur trained horse. If you don't know what that is its when you put your spurs in he will stop and if you keep them in he will back up and if you tap the spur on his sides he gos forwards.

I used spurs for the first time in my life just last year. Mine are similar to the ones second from the left, no points, dont need them. More like the shape of a clover leaf. Not for kicking or jabbing just for pressure. That's all you need.

That's amazing! I've never heard of it, but I'd love to see it. Do you use him for cattle roping and stuff? |

i only use spurs because my horse gets SUPEr lazy. you gotta know how to use them, and then they're not bad at all...just another aid. i dont even touch him with them. just wearing them helps. these are what i use for western. they are ball spurs.  |
