I use spurs with jaspar cause he will snatch weeds to eat and want to slow and stop on the trail. I use those ones with the round ball on the end. But anyway, if he makes a sudden move and I accidentally spur him, he knows its an accident! is that weird or what!! Also, if he has a yellow fly between his ears I can smack it HARD with a crop and he doesnt even blink. But if he snatches a bite and I give him a little whack on the withers he will put his ears back a little acting bratty :) Janice -- yipie tie yie yo
