Video Description:

Why do cowboy boots have those tiny spinning wheels on the heels? Many people assume they're just decorative, but those wheels—called spurs—have a fascinating history and an important purpose. In this video, we explore where spurs came from, how they evolved from ancient riding equipment to iconic cowboy gear, and why skilled riders use them to communicate with horses. You'll also discover the truth behind Hollywood's portrayal of spurs and how they're used in modern horseback riding today.

    I'm familiar with spurs because I have worked with horses. I had no idea the history behind them. Fascinating to learn it. Thanks Mel. :-)
