The Perfect Adornment?




I'm talking of Spurs of course. Are they the perfect boot adornment?

I'm sure you all have something you prefer more. Perhaps some ankle jewellery?

Of course the reality is that is in some way what a spur is. Of course the Boot Spur has it's origins in practicality. I'm not sure who invented it, however it's origins date back as far as the 5th century BC. Even the Roman Empire was known to use them.

The Spur is known to have been used throughout history, but I suppose has become synonimous with Cowboys. Their use is of course to steer horses but the very old word derives from the Anglo-Saxon words spura, spora, related to spornan, spurnan, to kick, spurn.

Hardly surprising that in fetish terms, something designed to give a stimulus to horses, to make them do or go in the direction you wish, has exactly the same effect on humans!

Personally I don't own any, but I love the sight of them being worn. What about you?
