So after a fab lesson today instructor has suggested I invest in some spurs. B has been scared to death of a whip by some idiot in the past, and although he wouldnt ever do anything stupid his whole body tenses and he is constantly on edge when you ride with one and really looks and feels petrified. He listens to my leg and voice, so a whip really isn't necessary at the moment for the basic flatwork we are doing, before anyone tells me to get him over his fear (on our to-do list).
However, instructor suggested today that some spurs would be a good idea to make sure he is just ever so slightly more responsive to my leg for the exercises we are doing at the moment.
So does anyone have any suggestions for some spurs which are only a gentle extension of your leg...I dont want anything which will really jab him but just some which will be a quick reminder and wake up for him! If this makes any sense? I am a bit of a spur buying virgin
