Spurs advice

[fairhill]

I've got a pair of 25mm POW spurs, but my RI has suggested I get a longer pair so that I can keep my leg stiller (I'm a bit big for the hoss, so am currently bringing my legs back to use them).
However after a bit of research I'm totally confused with all the choices.

What's the difference between swan neck, 40mm POW spurs, and long neck dressage spurs (also 40mm)????

Is anyone using some they can recommend?

Thanks! I did post in new lounge, but got no response, so I'm hoping the knowledgeable folk in here might be able to help

What spurs did you use with Bloss?

A tall rider needs longer spurs than a small rider. I'm 5ft 10 and find swan neck spurs the best. I ride a 16.2.

That's for dressage though. Jumping or showing only use short ones.

ebay's the best place to look.
