Benefits of technology

[0005]Briefly, in accordance with the teachings of the present invention, a riding spur is provided with a shank and rotatable rowel. A portion of the shank supporting the rotating rowels is a two stage configuration where the terminal portion of the shank rotates on its axis midway between its ends and locks into place with a spring loaded locking mechanism. The addition of a two stage rotating shank provides for the use of multiple types of rotating rowers on the same spur shank allowing for easy exchange between the different rowels.

Problems solved by technology

However, prior art spurs have not been particularly suitable for differing horses or stages of accomplishment.
Unfortunately, for individuals riding multiple horses, such as a trainer, or for those performing multiple events it may be necessary to have multiple spurs with different rowels in order to achieve the desired movement without causing undue discomfort or harm to the horse.

Embodiment Construction

[0012]Reference will now be made in detail to presently preferred embodiments of the invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

[0013]Referring generally to FIG. 1-4, a multi rowel spur 100 is shown in a conventional U-shaped form having arms 110 and 120 extending forwardly of the wearer's boot. Notches 130 and 140 are formed in the arms 110 and 120 and may include suitable hinges or hinge pins (not shown) to permit convenient attachment to the wearer's boot. Normally, leather straps are used that are buttoned on metal buttons hinged to such hinge pins for securing the spur adjacent to and in contact with the wearer's boot. The spur 100 includes rearward extending arms 150 and 160 collectively known as the shank that terminate in a second stage shank supporting member 170. The rearward extending arm, (150 or 160) includes a vertical attachment apparatus 220. The vertical attachment apparatus 220 is configured to receive an attachment pin 230, which con...

The riding spur of the present invention is particularly adapted to training and showing horses.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]The utilization of riding spurs for cueing and training horses is well known. The incorporation of rotatable rowels mounted on spurs has been known for many years. However, prior art spurs have not been particularly suitable for differing horses or stages of accomplishment. For example, at differing stages of training and depending on the particular sensitivity of the individual horse it may be desirable to use a dif...
