Ladies Spurs And Other Spurs: Fun Stuff To Know
Ladies Spurs vs. Men's Spurs
Women's spurs are different than men's spurs due to their width. A
woman's spur is narrower to accommodate a woman's smaller and narrower
foot. However, in many cases a woman can wear a spur not specifically designed
for a woman.
Shank Length and Shape
For spurs to be ideally suited to a rider and horse the length of the
shank can be important. You will want the shank to be long enough to
easily reach the side of the horse without being overly long and making
it too easy for the rider to bump the horse with the spur by accident.
That means if a rider's legs happen to be the right length to make
the rider's heels fall even with the horse's sides, they won't need a
spur with much of a shank. Their heels are already in the right place
and they won't have to "reach" for the horse. However, if a rider's legs
are long enough that their heels hang below the horse's sides, the shanks of the
spurs should be longer so it takes less movement on the part of the
rider to close the distance gap. The shanks can also curve upward to
help make it easier to reach the horse.
Jingle Bobs
Jingle bobs (or jingle-bobs, with a hyphen) are pieces of metal, usually
tear-drop shaped, that dangle from the rowel of the spur and make a
jingly sound.
Bumper Spurs
Bumper spurs are a style of spur that don't have
shanks or rowel. Instead, they have a "bumper" that goes along the
inside (the side next to the horse) of the spur.
