Spurs with a large number of spokes that are blunted are actually far safer and humane to use. Most folks have no idea how to use them properly anyway. You don't poke the animal, you gently run the rowel along the flank of the horse.

@ArizonaGhostriders 6 лет назад

Very true and I realized that I did say "poke" in the video. I meant "signal", and even though the teeth on them are still technically "poking", that was not my intention. Also, did you see those medieval ones with the spikes? Boy, I'd hate to have been that horse!

@marcolinosalgarone9442 4 года назад

That 's true, but in reality scar of spurs are frequently in ceep horses because the horses are not properly trained, maintain or feed and their owners are not well trained to use proprely; the results are wasted horses and cocky rider. Sorry for my English I'm a quite good rider but a bad student.

@confusedreindeer1295 Год назад

Yea its basically like a metal comb

@seewaage Год назад

I totally agree. And honestly I often get the behavior change I want just because the horse knows I'm wearing them. A lot of times I don't even have to engage them to get the horse's attention.

My grandpa taught me all I know about ranching, and I never saw him wear spurs once. He had a pair in the tackroom of the barn. He said that the only time he wore/used spurs were for a new horse or on a long drive. After working for a long time even a good horse can get "unreasonable", and it takes a spur to get their attention. (About 2 weeks if I remember what he said correctly, he died in 2008. Those were mostly in the 1910s and 20s) "You don't need spurs but very seldom" and "If you need spurs to ride a horse, either you don't know how or you need to sell the horse" are somethings I still remember him saying in the late 70s as I was working for him. I have never worn a spur riding... never have needed to. If you don't want all the noise, some Cavalry units wore rounded rowel-less spurs. Solid metal and leather straps don't jingle...

@thedukeofskull1383 4 года назад

I'm so sorry that your grandpa is gone. He sounds like a neat guy. I finally met mine in 1976', I rode my bike 100 miles to see my family for the first time at age 21. He told me of walking from Kentucky to Ohio and sleeping in the ditches along the way, it took him 3 days. You must have wonderful memorys. You might try writing them down so they will last forever. And remember... You have the memory, so he really isn't gone. And Queen Victoria was right, you do not have to stop missing them within a couple of years! GOD BLESS YOUR GRANDPAS MEMORY. ❤

@E3ECO 4 года назад

My old riding instructor used to say if you need spurs, you don't know how to ride. Sounds like your grandpa was of the same mind.

@51WCDodge 4 года назад

In England the only spurs you can use have a blunt bar called Prussian pattern. The only use is on a well trained horse, they allow you to give an aid very precicly with a small movment. Also very bad etiquete to wear spurs if not riding. British Cavalary use a blunt rowel spur. You can find somne with the rowel replaced with a forign coin, against regulations.

@keithmaxwell2169 3 года назад

Sometimes you Need Spurs like if your Riding a Stud or fresh broke horses after they are well Trained you can ride slick heeled without them

My grandpa told me the same thing about spurs and never let us use em as kids. He had a set in the tack room too and said he RARELY had to use em.

@douglasarnold5310 5 лет назад

Love the sound of jinglebobs. Didn't know they were for the top hands. When I cowboyed I were spurs a lot. But before you use them make sure you know what your doing had a friend "poke" his paint and ended up sitting in the middle of a gravel road it was hiliarious... Love the channel keep them coming.

@peppered8822 6 лет назад

They can also be used like in Hidalgo. Vigo gave Omar's Lieutenant who was a liar a "Mexican Tatoo" by putting his spur on his neck and making The Mark of the Liar that lasted forever. Great Movie taken from a true story of Frank Hopkins 1/2 American Indian (Sioux) and 1/2 white a Calvary man that fell in love with The Chief's daughter. At the end of the movie they tell about Frank Hopkins a long distance horse rider. Great Video too Santee. As always I learned something new/old.

@victorwaddell6530 5 лет назад

Thanks , Santee ! You earned your spurs by making this video . What do horsemen call it when they whip a steed's flanks with a length of leather or rawhide ? Isn't the thing called a quirt , and quitring is the action of using it ? Also , what about whips ? Buggy whips , cattle whips , whips used as weapons and punishment devices ? My background is naval , and old times sailors used whips as devices of punishment , the most infamous was the Cat 'O Nine Tails . The saying "There isnt enough room to swing a cat " comes from the fact that a whip can't be weilded in a small room . In another train of thought , a rider wearing spurs can walk up a flight of stairs normally , but must walk down stairs sideways like a crab . Failure to do so would cause a sudden and possibly injurious fall .

@ArizonaGhostriders 5 лет назад

Thank you, and I can do a video on different types of whips and their uses. Sounds like a plan!

@RBEmerson 5 лет назад

Forget the injurious fall. The rowels would leave gouges in the wooden stars that would be smaller than the gouge my wife would leave in my head with her axe...

@TerryKeever Месяц назад

I've read the whips were mostly for the loud cracks they made. The word "crackers" came from name for cowboys in Florida Panhandle who used used whips a lot for the noise or so some say.

@victorwaddell6530 Месяц назад

@@TerryKeever I'm from Spartanburg County , South Carolina and live near Cowpens . There was a significant Revolutionary War battle at Cowpens where Colonial forces defeated the British forces and Banaster Tarleton's Dragoons . The Tennessee Mountain Boys travelled over the mountains to fight at Cowpens . I've heard of people from Georgia called Georgia crackers and black Southeners calling white people crackers . Florida has more cattle ranches than most people realize , and many of the cowboys are Native American . Cheers Terry .

@robertjensen1094 5 лет назад

You shake your heel to get the jingle bobs to well jingle. That way you can signal what you want the horse to do without touching spur to horse. With a good horse you only ever need to use the spurs once. After that just jingle and be on your way.

@Rumblestrip 5 лет назад

I can say, having used them for years, they don't have to cause pain. I've had a few horses over the years that needed them for, often times, safety sake. They were easily distracted and could get stubborn about their curiosity in dangerous situations. The jingle of the rowel was enough to keep their mind on the job. I've also used them as a training tool for barrel racing and team penning to help the horse know when we were out for work or pleasure. I can think of only 1 I ever had in the dozens I've had that needed them on a trail. Good horse but she never could walk a line for trying. Lol tracking her through brush was like following a drunk. Good horse, very short attention span. Lol never liked her feet getting messed with, took a stern, almost homicidal dislike to feet trimming.

Up here they generally wear a smaller rowel. They were used to just rake the horse without harming it. Spanish rowels were big and often very pointed. A quick jab with the spurs could injure the horse. I’ve heard more than one man get mad at a man who used his spur to jab into the animal. I’ve even offered to pull a couple of men off their horse for that reason. Good thing I got my point across cause one a them guys was bigger than me and I’d a probably got beat good.

If you are wearing spurs, walk down stairs with you foot turned sideways. Oterwise a fast descent is likley. The purpose of a spur is that you can move your leg les sand give a precise aid, rathe than just kicking hell out of the poor animal, they should also have unequal bars, the shortest to the inside of the boot.

You only wear them "all of the time" if you are truly on your horse the whole day, or working livestock the whole day, and only if your horse requires them. Most don't. Otherwise, they kind of get in the way. They truly are a tool to the true cowboy, and an accessory to the person that plays dress up.

What about the spur ridge on the boots?I can't find a spur ridge/ledge searching old west pictures...Maybe it's something "new"? And if it didn't exist back then,how those guys kept their spurs not to slip off their heels?By using the spur chains?I'm an Old West enthusiast 😊from the 'non-firing replica'Greece-Europe,so please be kind even my question sounds silly! I praise the Lord for your Channel all those years-Keep doing the right thing 🤠

Looks like those ridges were maybe not as pronounced back in the day. I've seen some boots from the era where they are a little more than flush with the boot. Good, tight spur straps and heel chains go a long way!

There are a number of people who make/sell reproductions of the Garcia spurs from Elko. In fact, I do have a set. I wish someone would make reproductions of the original Visalia spurs from San Francisco.

I bet a blacksmith could make a pair for you.

I watched a comedy video the other night and not once did he mention Spurs, he told a lot of good jokes though!
