You’ve heard of No Stirrups November… but what about No Spurs? When top junior rider Casey Arriaga took his spurs off before finals season, he didn’t expect it to change everything about his ride. Without that extra aid, he had to rely on timing, balance, and feel — learning how to create impulsion from his leg, not his heel. The result? A stronger position, quieter communication, and a deeper connection with his horse. #ThePlaidHorse #Equitation #NoSpursChallenge #HunterJumper #RiderConnection #EquestrianTraining #Flatwork #RidingTips
