Spurs Putting the odds in favor of the horse is also why bronc riders are required to spur the horse. It is much harder for them to ride the horse when they do so. Try this: sit down in a straight-backed kitchen chair with your feet flat on the floor. Have someone shake the back of the chair. Now do it again, only this time hold your feet up and out in front of you in the same position a bronc
rider would if he were trying to spur the horse on the shoulders. When the chair is shaken this time it is much easier to get "bucked off". Bronc riding spurs are required to be blunt and free spinning so as not to injure the horse in any manner. (Bull riding spurs may be loosely locked for use on the looser hided bulls, but they must still be blunt.) Any bronc or bull rider who attempts to use non-regulation spurs is disqualified.
