Spurs

Spurs are sharp, pointed tools or devices typically worn on the heels of riding boots, used to encourage a horse to move forward or increase speed. They are commonly made of metal and have a wheel or a spike that the rider gently digs into the horse’s sides. Spurs are used in equestrian sports and activities to enhance communication between the rider and the horse. While they can be beneficial for precise maneuvering, they should be used responsibly to avoid causing harm or distress to the animal.
