Elevate your communication and command the arena with the Bob Avila AV Floral Medium Shank Spurs, designed to provide the perfect balance of subtle cues and professional-grade precision. These expertly weighted spurs ensure a consistent, stable fit on your boot, allowing you to deliver clear signals without the distraction of shifting hardware.

Part of the prestigious Bob Avila Collection by Professional's Choice, these spurs represent the pinnacle of elite horsemanship and functional art. Engineered with a "bottom-heavy" balance, they are specifically weighted to hang correctly on the heel, while the intricate silver-overlay floral engraving provides a high-end aesthetic that transitions seamlessly from the daily training pen to the AQHA or NRHA show ring.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Versatile Medium Shank: Measuring between 2 1/4" and 2 1/2", the medium shank offers the ideal "all-around" reach for riders with average leg length to deliver cues without excessive movement.
• Balanced 10-Point Rowel: Equipped with a moderate 10-point rowel that provides a clear, balanced "bite"—sharper than a blunt end but more forgiving than high-point sunburst designs.
• Artisanal Floral Engraving: Features intricate silver-overlay floral designs that offer a premium look suitable for high-level competition and Western Pleasure classes.
• Engineered "Bottom-Heavy" Weight: Specifically weighted to ensure the spurs sit correctly on the boot heel and do not shift or ride up during intense maneuvers.
• Anatomical Heel Band: The 1" wide steel band is designed for a secure fit and is slightly malleable, allowing for minor adjustments with a spur press to achieve a custom, snug feel.
• Gender-Specific Sizing: Available in Ladies’ (approx. 2 7/8" width) and Men’s (approx. 3" to 3 1/8" width) to prevent pinching and ensure a stable, level position on the boot.
• Multi-Discipline Legal: Designed to meet the elegance and technical requirements for Reining, Western Pleasure, and Ranch Horse classes under AQHA and NRHA rules.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure these spurs fit my boots without sliding?
A: For the best fit, choose the size corresponding to your boot width—Ladies' (approx. 2 7/8") or Men's (approx. 3" - 3 1/8"). The steel band is slightly malleable, allowing experienced riders to make minor 1/4" adjustments for a perfectly snug, level fit on the heel.

Q: Are these spurs suitable for sensitive horses or beginner riders?
A: These spurs are recommended for intermediate to advanced riders with a "quiet" leg. While the 10-point rowel is more forgiving than a sunburst design, the medium shank provides significant leverage that requires a steady hand and leg to avoid accidental over-correction.
