Here in NZ, an advert has caused hyped controversy about a fashion shoot using rodeo. At a quick glance, it was unclear whether the model was wearing spurs.

This got me thinking that feather spurs might be idea. This was quickly squashed by negatives. But is a humane spur possible and even one that caused pleasure to the animal?

My mind thought of the old hand buzzer prank which would be ideally humane. Adaption of the rotating mechanism could yield a skin massaging type spur that might actually be pleasurable to the animal.

I don't recommend rushing out and taping neck massage devices to the heels of you riding boots as a lot of science type stuff has to be done.

       Are horses ticklish?

       Yes. They can feel flies landing on their hide.   

       There are several sorts of spur. Most have just a small, blunt projection about 10mm long.   

       Historically, spurs used by cavalry did have sharp rowells, capable of inflicting serious pain and injury. They are probably now illegal in most jurisdictions.

       I'm pretty sure I've heard of rodeo folks goosing bucking animals out of the chute in this manner, but it's hardly WKTE.

       The only problem with pleasure is that the sensation will numbify not what is needed at a rodeo., sorry tv peck entry is a bit rough.
