AH! trained like a QH, all backwards. I dont see the point of spur stopping, you are defeating the purpose of spurs. She isn’t any better then Stetner.

A spur stop or leg pressure is an a basic dressage move of seat, thighs, leg that is how you stop a english horse you use you seat and drive into the bit and stop or slow down. I laugh as everyone sees the western saddle and the slow gait and assume it is wrong it is basic dressage seat, thights legs then hands. It is just trained to use less hands more seat and legs.

My only problem with spur training is that too often it’s technique used by trainers who are so concerned with getting their young horses ‘finished’ and out in the ring winning, that they neglect the proper education of the horse. A horse that ONLY stops when you press the spurs into his side becomes a danger to himself and others, I’ve see it firsthand- If the pressure of the bit has never in his life meant stop and the horse spooks, suddenly you have a frightened animal, and no way to stop it

And livinagain2004, I have years of experience riding western and english, to be more precise – western pleasure and equitation, western games, hunt seat pleasure and equitation, dressage, jumping, hunter over fences, arena trail, backcountry trail, working ranch horse, saddleseat, sidesaddle, driving, penning, ranch sorting etc. and if you think a spur stop is the same as a PROPER dressage stop, you have a LOT more training to do.

I guess it all depends on how you train. I can stop my horse with the bit ,a spur stop or saying whoa. I agree that doing a spur stop on a very young or green horse is not a good way of training. I have rode many different breeds of horses as well as many different diciplines. I like the spur stop, you can do a so called spur stop with no spurs. A correct spur stop is again a dressage halt., seat legs hands. I have never seen a top dressage rider without spurs on.
