A friend expressed surprise when I mentioned I occasionally ride in spurs ( the round ball blunt ones of course).
Who rides in spurs and why, and if not please give your opinions.
I have always used spurs at some times with my horses, I just think its perfectly acceptable way to ask a horse to respond to my aids and is therefore more effective and less miserable for the horse and rider than to be constantly kicking at their sides - I get the feeling some people don't think it is.
Grateful for your views generally on this subject, thanks
