Breakaway is good thinking. My dad once was holding the reins and threw his foot up on the tailgate to put his spurs on. Before he put his foot down, but after he buckled up, he realized that he had buckled his reins into his spurs. Could have been a real wreck.
Jason, A lot of it has to do with protecting the boot from extra wear while being in stirrups. I also know that fashion and style plays a huge role as well. I myself actually like to use old pieces of Lattigo, which are often smaller than a traditional spur straps, and that seems to work pretty well. S^C

Jeepers that’s terrifying! I have had many close calls that I’m glad to say I have stayed safe from.
@@StartupCowboy You ride long enough and something is going to go south. I just don’t want people to say, “Well that was stupid.”
Most accurate and realistic Utube video on cowboy gear I’ve seen. Some are so wrong it’s criminal. Good job.
Thanks Bill!
Well done !
Thank you!
I have a question. Why use a wide strap instead of a thin and simple strap?

Nice job! The spurs you mentioned that you didn't know what they are called are bumper spurs.
Thanks for the information! I honestly haven’t ever heard what they were called.
Thanks for checking out the channel!

@@StartupCowboy Enjoy your videos!
We usually referred to these as barrel racer spurs.
