Western Bumper Spurs for Cowboy Boots
Bumper spurs use a rounded or bumper-style contact area instead of the more familiar rowel design found on many western spurs. Some riders prefer this style for a smoother cue, but fit, rider skill, horse sensitivity, and correct use still matter. A bumper spur should be selected with the same care as any other riding aid.

Choosing Bumper Spurs
Compare the spur band, neck, bumper shape, material, and overall size. A ladies or youth spur may fit differently than a men's spur, and some designs are more decorative while others are more practical for regular riding.
As with all spurs, bumper spurs should be used as a communication aid with quiet legs and good timing. If a horse is reacting poorly, check fit, training, rider balance, and tack comfort before changing to a stronger aid.
