Hi folks, I've been reading the cantering thread with interest. I believe all horses can canter in balance and learn to do it with a rider in a rather short...
Sharon, Great story! I can just imagine that nasty ol' plug. I will admit to using rowelled spurs with my darling Jeff. The big boy is not the, um, most...
Hi Shannon, Yes - I find the same thing quite often. I just got a book called "Farm Animals (and Working & Sporting Breeds of the United States & Canada)"...

Sorry, this is a little off topic..but I saw the post about rowel spurs.. Does anyone have a preference between spurs or riding crop? I don't think I've ever...
Hi, I would -except the short article is partly on one page, and partly on the next page. I scanned them both but there isn't enough space left in the files...

Hmm, I am actually quite glad that this topic as come up, as I think that it is quite important to make a distinction between the two. Both are very effective...
I agree with Sharon--the answer is, "depends on the horse." Either the whip or the spur are there to get the horse to pay attention, not to cause pain. (Maybe...

I have been schooling my mare for a year now, she is five and is very mareish... spooky evasive and strong. I found that with the wip I just kept having to use...
Yvonne, I agree with you! I did not mean to leave out the beginners. Please do not strap on rowels if you can't keep your leg quiet! I would never put a spur...
I don''t post very often, but Ken, your story about replacing rowels on cavalry spurs with dimes really hit home with me. I started riding many years ago, and...
Hi Gail, That is SO COOL! Were the spurs brass or silver metal (German silver?) That might help date them. Who was the fellow you learned to ride from, may I...
