Parts of a Western Spur
The band wraps the heel, the shank extends back from the band and the rowel spins on a pin at the end. Buttons on the band hold the strap.
- Shank length sets how far the rowel sits from the heel.
- Rowel points range from a few blunt points to many fine ones.
- Stainless steel resists rust in wet and dusty conditions.
Choosing Shank and Rowel
Longer shanks suit riders with long legs or those wearing riding chaps. More points spread contact over a wider area. Start mild and get advice from your coach.
Straps and Spare Parts
Western spurs take wide, shaped straps from spur straps. Buttons, hangers and rowel pins are in spur accessories.
Complete the Western Kit
Pair spurs with western boots that have a spur ledge on the heel. Saddles, bits and breastplates are in stock and western tack, and quirts and stock whips in riding whips.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between western and English spurs?
Western spurs have a wider band, a longer shank and usually a rowel that spins freely. English spurs are slimmer, with a short neck and often a plain or ball end. Western spurs suit heavier western boots with a spur ledge, while English spurs suit slim riding boots.
Can I change the rowels on my spurs?
Many western spurs have a replaceable rowel held on by a pin or rivet. Swapping rowels lets you change the number of points or the diameter without buying new spurs. Check the rowel diameter and pin size match your spurs, and replace worn pins at the same time.
Are spurs allowed in campdrafting?
Spurs are commonly worn in campdrafting, but most associations set rules on rowel type and how spurs are used, and stewards can check gear. Rules change, so read the current rulebook for your association before competing and choose blunt rowels that will not mark the horse.
