I share a horse.. and he is really lazy at times.Do you think spurs would help and which type blunt or rowel??

Question: I dont know if spurs would be cruel.. but he just needs omething to wake him up?? please tell me what you think ?? i wouldnt want to be cruel.. but he is lazy practically all the time.. and his manners arent the best ... would spurs help to get some more impulsion and better manners??

Answer: No. It Sounds like you are involved in sharing a horse that is inappropriate to your level of riding. Spurs are just an aide,and like any aide can be cruel or useful depending on the experience of its use. Try getting together with its other owner/s that share it, and have it evaluated by an expert rider. You can also watch good riders at lessons correctly use aids like whips and spurs and see that correctly used they are valuable tools. If you do not know how to wake up a shared horse short of using spurs or whips, Its the wrong horse for you. Leave spurs to the experts. Very good question! As far as cruelty is concerned, a bit ,saddle,your sitting on a horse, inporper use of reins and so on would be cruel. Prince of Wales(those small english spurs) are lightweight english spurs for skilled! riders. Luck!
