Pow Spurs
Can I use spurs for this?
I've never used spurs until I started training in dressage. They work wonders on the paint I have, that I will be taking to a barrel race next month.
So, are PoW spurs allowed for barrel racing? He has gas, and he loves to run, but actually convincing him to run is like asking him to have a baby. He's a really weird horse..

You can use anything you want in barrel racing. I don't think there is a ban on any kind of tack when it comes to barrels, so yes, you can use them.
But if you want to start barrel racing competitively, I suggest taking him to a big open field or somewhere other than an arena where you have lots of space, and asking him to run there. A lot of horses aren't comfortable running in an arena at first. And believe it or not, horses (sometimes) have to be trained how to run with a rider on their back. When I first started asking Peanut for speed, he wouldn't do it. He'd get frustrated and just buck. So I took him to a gigantic raspberry field (about a mile around) and let him lope around it. After he was used to it out there, I asked him to really run. It took about a month, but after that he got used to the idea of a person up there while running. And being outside, with no walls or boundaries, taught him to really let loose and push himself.
I don't need spurs to ask him to run. All I have to do to ask him to run is sit a certain way, and he takes off.
If you can find a place like that to work him, it'll translate to the arena. He'll be more comfortable pushing with a rider and he'll probably realize that running is fun and won't want to pass up the opportunity.
Spurs shouldn't be used to make a horse go faster. They should be used to enhance your leg cues so that your cues can be smaller.
