^^ oh, and my horses have all been kept schooled to a reasonable level- which, shockingly seems to be a lot higher standard than those on livery yards I've been on who have ridden and schooled in spurs!!! )
Gosh, you all must hate me-
I ride in spurs all of the time on both of my horses, for schooling, hacking and jumping.
Even worse, one of my horses is a very big, very green youngster and I use the spur to get him forwards when he is being nappy and refusing to go forwards- much better imo to give him a nudge with the spur than a great pony club kick or a whack with a whip.
Spurs are great as if I don't need them, I don't use them- it is very possible to use the leg a lot without the spur coming into contact with the horse.
String me up now!![]()
