I need to get some spurs and was wondering what the rules are regarding these in competition, and also about the different types, do they really make much difference?
Spurs can be useful but you need to know how to use them. They are probably the most misused piece of equipment in the horse world. Presumably someone has told you you need them, hopefully an instructor or someone who has alot of knowledge. If that is the case go back to them & ask which would be appropriate for what you are trying to achieve.
Yes I know how to use them and my instructor advised it, I had borrowed some from her and been using them on my horse for a while, but I now need to buy my own. Thanks for the link
