Dear Julie, My understanding is that spurs are to be used to back up a request if the horse is not responding or to make a cue more clear as in lateral work. It is hard for me to picture how to not have the spur contact the horse, especially in the most forward position when cueing with one's leg.
So what use does it serve? âPreceding unsigned comment added by 71.189.49.160 23:42, 10 September 2008 (UTC) The crook or staff has two purposes, one to draw the sheep back and the second to break the leg of disobedient sheep. A sheep who keeps leaving the flock. The shepherd would break the leg of the sheep so it couldn't run off, and carry it on his shoulders while the sheep healed, caring for the sheep and building a bond with the sheep, so the sheep would love the shepherd and not leave him.
