Standing over five feet tall, this boot brings back the meaning that size matters, but deeper then that, it is an iconic symbol of the cowboy. Spurs are worn not for looks, but for working a horse through long hard days, brush they don't want to go through, creeks they aren't in the mood to cross, and hours that become long and demanding. Slick heals wears the cowboy thin. Horses get days off cowboys don't.

The spur is in full motion, the rowel spins and the buckle tightens the spur strap,
which is a swather chain.

| Detail is the key to developing the artistic side of these western pieces. Here horse shoe nails are welded together then sewn into the chicken wire. |
Jamie, these are all amazing, you are very talented.
