Is this a soft spur? I want something soft but effective.

No its metal, its hard.
In all seriousness though, itâs not a nub nor is it two inches long. It should be âsoftâ so long your legs are âsoftâ. If you want a barely anything there spur, get a little nub.
ETA: I like the round ball spurs (listed as a âsoft spursâ on Stubben)
^ I have those Stubben âsoft spursâ myself. Like them a lot.
Smooth ball roller spurs are great. Had to switch to a pair because a sensitive imported dressage horse I was riding was getting bad rubs from my regular spurs.
I miss old fashioned hammer heads. I suppose the new roller ball type spurs have taken over.
Was just a great shape with some oomph but no poke.

My hammer heads are my favorite spurs for my big, giant plug of a hunter. I use smooth/pointed rowels at clinics or near the end of a show when I need some more oomph, but the hammer heads are a great every day spur!
I have a huge collection of all types of spurs, and my hammer heads are my go-to on anything that actually needs a spur.
It also depends on how your leg falls on this horse. You want enough control to keep the spurs from ever touching accidentally, but you want to be able to use them easily without messing with your leg position. A nub of a spur you have to fully turn your toe out and bring your heel up to touch is far more disruptive if thatâs how your leg and your horse fit.
