Would bumper spurs help tighten my barrel horse's turns?
Maybe. Bumper spus are a smooth, humane spur used to move the horse laterally. (side-ways) Used on the outside leg should push your horse closer to the barrel. Before running the barrels try working on the rail and then in 20 meter circles moving your horse laterally, off and on the rail and then close your circle in and then expand it out. See if your horse is responding to the spurs like you want. If he is moving away from the spur like you want then start slowly on the barrels.
A hack is what most call a short ride. Can be a trail ride or they may never leave an arena.
