Thanks to Akal Ranch for hosting this month’s Carnival of the Horse and Welcome to any readers heading over from the Ranch!  Check out Akal Ranch for a great collection of horse related blogs, some great photos, and other horsey tidbits.  The Carnival is reprinting a post I wrote a few weeks back regarding the spur stop and I’m hoping that reposting it will generate some discussion.  Please feel free to comment – I’m curious about where people stand on this topic and what your experiences (if any) have been with this training technique.  Enjoy your September Carnival and thanks for visiting!
