Why do Cowboys use Jinglebobs on Spurs?

In this episode I discuss what a jinglbob is. Most people do not understand the many types of tools cowboys and horsemen use, so I decided I would talk about this one.
Some people prefer to take their jinglebobs off in order to be quieter, especially if they’re arena riders or ride in groups of people.
the people I know that wear jinglebobs tend to be alone in the backcountry. Their reasoning behind wearing their jjnglebobs is because they “sing” to them. In other words they love the sounds the jinglebobs make when they’re alone.

The American Mountain men wore spurs with jingle bobs over forty years before the first cowboys started punchin cattle north to the railroad shipping yards. George Fredrick Ruxton, English explorerer and author wrote of Bill Williams, famous mountain man and former guide for Colonel John Fremont, the Great Pathfinder. In his book, "Life in the Far West, describing Bill Williams he writes, "...and iron spurs of incredible proportions, with tinkling drops attached to the rowels, were fastened to his heel, a bead worked strap four inches broad, securing them over his instep." I believe the mountain men wore large spurs as a fashion statement as much as a riding aid.

Where’d you get that hat?

[@broomtailcountry]

North 40 in Great Falls Montana. It's not a buckaroo hat, but it's the best hat I've ever owned. haha

Because they aren’t real cowboys

Show spurs exists for a reason and the spurs can be traced back to medieval times for the rich. Doesn't mean "cowboy" 100% of the time
