Abstract
A riding spur is used in conjunction with a boot having a foot portion and an adjacent heel disposed below the foot portion. The spur comprises a generally U-shaped band member having a lip projecting inwardly from the band member and abutting the lower edge of the band member. The lip is insertable into a gap formed between the heel and the foot portion of the boot. The lip thereby releasably engages the boot between the foot portion of the boot and the heel, and maintains the spur in the proper operating position.
