“Spurs” refers to a metal tool designed to be worn on the heels of riding boots. It typically features a small, pointed wheel or a rowel that is used by riders to urge a horse forward or to guide it. The spurs can vary in design, but they generally consist of a spiked end that can gently jab the sides of the horse. In a broader context, “Spurs” is also associated with the sports teams that bear the name, such as the San Antonio Spurs, an NBA basketball team. However, the primary meaning of “spurs” pertains to the riding equipment used in equestrian activities.
