Mostly because his heart girth is much narrower then his barrel (he's got a sprung barrel) and so my leg rides him short. I need the extra length to be able to reach his side when he needs a little reminder that forward doesn't mean slow down because he's feeling lazy.<BR/><BR/>Back when I showed, I used the same spurs you have as I wanted him a little sharper off my leg. For the most part though I don't wear spurs unless I'm doing arena work or a program. He doesn't need them out on patrol.<BR/><BR/>I think Mary will wear either rowels (my old show ones) or the ones that are similar but have that black ball on the end (http://www.doversaddlery.com/product.asp?pn=X1-25117&&). She wears shorter ones (same as your minus the rowel) for show jumping/cross country. He really responds to the ball ones, but they are not legal for eventing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28335578.post-43813120593731051122008-07-22T22:32:00.000-05:002008-07-22T22:32:00.000-05:00Very nice!!
