Testimonials

“I love the Spursuader! My two sensitive mares are so responsive to them! The design of Spursuader is gentle but so effective in getting horses going happily forward.”

“It's been fun watching my horse's reaction to the Spursuaders. Usually when I wear spurs and even lightly touch her with them, her ears go straight back and she swishes her tail. When I use the Spursuaders, she'll flick an ear but not fuss about it. She moves off my leg nicely now to the right, but now that we're not fighting I can see that she's stiff to the left and we need to work on it. So thanks for helping me discover that! :)”

“We have been using them and I am very happy. We plan on using them on a regular basis with our horses.”

“Since using the Spursuader on my sensitive horses, I have noticed a better 'reaction' and less 'over- reaction' to adding leg. They really helped train one mare to complete a leadchange without kicking out to the leg. I will definitely keep them in my arsenal for those tempermental horses.”

“The Spursuader's have changed my life! My dad's horse Benny (an off the track TB) is going so well with them. He's never been in a frame. Getting him to come into my hand now has become so easy as he is listening to my leg with the Spursuader. I am a big fan!”

“I bought a pair of Spursuaders for my thoroughbred gelding who had raced for 6 years. They worked incredible on him. I took him to the Lindsay fair, and we got a 1st in pleasure!! It was an amazing day. Tragically this past December that horse had to be put to sleep due to injury. I just wanted to thank you for the sale. Our last rides wouldn't have been as effective and rewarding if it hadn't been for this incredible tool. I now have a 3 y/o quarter horse filly. She will be the next to discover what spurs are, and I'm glad I can have a safe and comfortable pair, that she doesn't have to shy away from.”

“The spurs are a great concept. They're great for the "modern" warmblood. If your horse is a hot horse and you don't need the spur to increase the speed, these spurs are great to help a horse bend off your leg and get them to pay attention to you without making them too foward.”

“In the time I have been using my Spursuader spurs, my young horses are reacting better to my leg, making the time I spend on them more effective.”

“I have tried the Spursuader on several horses and find them a very useful aid, especially on a horse that needs spurs but finds them offensive. You get the right reaction without complaints.
I also think for the rider that is unable to use their leg skillfully the Spursuader is great as it won't jab or irritate the horse unnecessarily. ”

“I have tried many kinds of spurs on my mare, as she lets me know that she does not like me using them. I found a pair that I had the least amount of resistance from her, however they were not as effective as I would like them to be. I tried the Spursuader and I got an immediate forward response, without the resistance and resentment.
Great invention. Love the logo, as we all want our horses going willing from the art of gentle persuasion/spursuasion. ”

“I am very impressed with the Spursuader. I have tried them on several of my horses and had my students use them. The Spursuader is effective in encouraging the horse to go forward without tension or resistance. My horse went forward with a long swinging step without getting as tight and as quick as usual.”

“As a nervous rider, I was reluctant to use spurs. My green horse listens respectfully to the Spursuader, and my hotter ex-race horse doesn't over-react. Spursuader has really upped my confidence all-round”

“I am really happy with my pair of Spursuaders, riding a young green horse they make my leg aid more effective without using a sharp spur. I also know other people who have had a lot of success using them on off track tb's. We have found that it just seems like a gentler way to re-enforce the leg and we can achieve the desired result with happier horses.”

“The small spurs I had always used (and needed) for bending, were now producing a resistance and head tossing through most transitions. Riding with no spurs made cantering an Olympic sport. The Spursuader was the ideal happy medium. Riding 4 or 5 different horses daily, this is the first spur that I dont worry about removing or adding for each new horse. Regardless of training level or discipline, Ive yet to have any sort of negative reactions, and I feel confident leaving them on all day.”

“Our pony tends to get a little fast and nervous with traditional spurs. She also does not always want to bend. With the Spursuader spurs she stayed quiet and relaxed and bent properly around my daughter's leg.”

“Phillip is a 4 year old Thoroughbred who is easy going but can be lazy and quick in the same ride. I have tried spurs on him twice, and he has reacted quite negatively. The only bucks he's ever given me has been during the spur usage, and I use rubber ended spurs which should be lighter. Let me tell you that from the moment I sat on Phillip I loved these spurs. I was concerned that I would have to use my leg differently but thankfully I was totally wrong. Phillip is also learning how to move away from leg pressure and this spur greatly increased my ability to convey that message. Later on in the day, I gave the spurs to my student on her 12 year old paint who needs a spur but is sensitive. She can also be an aggressive rider, and sometimes this combination causes friction. She loved the spurs too! Her horse never pinned his ears, cleaned up his transitions, and reacted more positively overall. I will tell everyone I know about your spurs! Good job!”

“I absolutely love these spurs and haven't taken them off since I put them on my boots. I have a very sensitive mare and really appreciate the positive response I get from them. They give me a 'Persuasive Nudge' and not an 'Over-reactive Poke' that traditional spurs give”

“I have worn them on my red-hot little mare who kicks at my leg or scoots in regular dressage spurs (even little nubby ones). She likes the Spursuaders and they are what I wear on her now.”

“Using these spurs alleviates the stress that can cause me to stiffen up from worrying if I am going to miscue and annoy my horse inadvertently (as happens with a stronger spur). I find that I feel more comfortable knowing that if I accidentally touch my horse when I don't mean to I am not going to cause any undue and unfair stress to him or me.

I like this spur because it is more forgiving as you work to improve your leg or teach your horse. I would rather have less spur that you can support with a crop than a sharper spur that asks a horse for something that you didn't mean to ask
for.”
