My first attempt at spur making (pics)

Sorry for the stupid question cause I know nothing about horses.
Don't that hurt and cut the horses?

In my experience....if you use them properly, no.

Some times you do need to spur a horse on. They have thick hide and you can move a horse in the direction you want with spurs, and without, they just don't pay attention. Most of the time you are tapping their side. I don't ever remember seeing cuts from spurs.
