Beautiful as always Larry. I tell you, you have to send your work to the "Calgary Stampede" you will not only make a fortune, but you'll most likely become extremely famous. All the world class rodeo stars are there for the largest rodeo in the world (excepting out the NFR in Vegas). They have each year a compitition for western artwork and stuff, that you should enter.

Larry,

As always they look great. I do have a question for you. I started riding about a year ago and have noticed that some people strap on spurs with the big side of the strap on the outside and other strap it to the inside of the foot. I have mine on the outside because intuitively that seemed the way to do it. Any reason for one way over the other?

Thanks Mike, I do not know why some have the large size on the inside or outside. I perfer the large size on the outside as there is less damage to the large conchos from walking and the possibility of clicking the conchos together. As you know some sterling silver conchos are very expensive and it would be a pitty to damage them. ... Larry

Thanks Ken, perhaps now that I am retired from my regular job I might just do that. Do you konw if you sell in Calgary if you would need a tax license ?

As far as the side of the foot you face the larger side of the spur strap... As a Horseman I think I like to keep the least of the clutter toward my saddle and tack so if the smoother less cluttered side is larger (and it usually is) that is were I put it. Saves my foot from tangling in my saddle fenders and stirrup hardware, especially if I have to bail off in a hurry. My $00.02 worth.

I always go buckle to the outside, and if no buckle then I would put the large side out mainly because that is the side that would have the ornamental tooling on it and if it was to the inside it wouldn't be as visible. Also I always felt that the large side out helped protect that part of my boot while riding through brush where as the inside of my boot is up against the stirrup and already protected.

In California there's a tradition that says the old time California vaqueros

wore their spurs buckled on the inside of their legs, and Texas cowboys wore

theirs buckled toward the outer side. That's what I used to hear, maybe others

can verify that claim, or debunk it.
