Marcel Toulouse Spurs & Spur Straps

Riders wear spurs to refine and reinforce leg aids, allowing for more subtle and precise communication with a horse, encouraging responsiveness and movement in specific directions. Spurs are an extension of the rider's heel, enabling them to give more precise and subtle cues than just using the heel alone. They can be used to encourage a horse to move forward, laterally or to change gaits, but should never be used to punish a horse or to force a horse into a movement it is not ready for.
