Why Writing Off the San Antonio Spurs Is a Mistake
by
Ryan C Coyle
The Spurs can't win the West b/c the Grizzlies are too physical, the Thunder too talented, the Lakers too big, the Clippers too athletic. Nonsense. The Spurs can win the West.

A History Of Cowboy And Western Spurs
by
Tao Schencks
The history of Cowboy Spurs begins in ancient Rome where horse riders wore a basic form of what would become the Western Cowboy Spur to allow them to guide their horses in battle. The spur became an invaluable riding aid and was also used in the Middle Ages where knights were known to "earn their spurs" when achieving a Knighthood and becoming one of the Knights of the realm. For this reason, Spurs are seen as a sign of rank and are often still given today as an honour - even from The Pope himself!

The Parts of a Cowboy Spur
by
Tao Schencks
A basic pair of cowboy spurs are made from metal, usually iron and can be identified using different names or terms for each of the parts of the spur. Although the spur is mostly one solid piece, each part has a name and this information can be useful when attempting to identify spurs or purchase them from online auction. The Yoke, the Rowel and the Neck all form the spur itself - but don't forget the Jingle Bob too!

Bull Riding Spurs - Small, Dull and Important
by
Ned D'Agostino
Bull riding spurs are a lot different than the spurs you see on cowboys on those old western movies. They serve a strict purpose (it's not to inflict pain) and must follow a number of regulations before they can be used in a PBR event.

by
Binh T. Le
The jingling of riding spurs is a familiar sound to anybody who has ever watched a cowboy movie. But unless you're familiar with equestrian culture, the use and construction of a spur is probably unknown. The spur is used in every equestrian discipline to help the rider guide the horse.
