Myler B-17 Western Riding Spur with #1 Rowel - Medium Size - Stainless Steel

Refined Communication for the Western Performance Horse

Built for the long haul in the show ring or out on the ranch, the Myler B-17 Spur with #1 Rowel is designed for riders who understand that a subtle leg cue is often the difference between a good ride and a great one. Myler’s philosophy of clear, consistent communication—well-known in their bit designs—is perfectly reflected in these spurs, offering a level of precision that generic gear simply can't match.

Crafted from classic black steel, these spurs offer a traditional Western aesthetic that develops a beautiful patina over time. The 2" shank and 1" band provide a balanced feel, ensuring your signals are delivered with the exact amount of pressure needed for Western Pleasure, Reining, or Trail patterns without being overbearing.

Key Benefits for the Performance Rider

• Ergonomic Left/Right Fit: Unlike generic spurs, these are specifically molded for the left and right foot to eliminate gapping and ensure the spur sits securely on your boot heel without slipping.
• Moderate, Clear Signal: The #1 Rowel features a 5-point design, providing a direct signal that is more refined than a blunt end but less aggressive than high-point rowels.
• Traditional Western Aesthetic: The Black Steel (blued steel) construction provides that sought-after ranch look that will "rust" or patina over time, adding character to your gear.
• Secure Positioning: The 1" band width and 8.75" band length offer a stable, standard medium fit that stays in place during intense maneuvers.
• Professional Grade Durability: Myler’s commitment to quality ensures these spurs can handle daily training sessions and the rigors of the show circuit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does the "B" in B-17 stand for?

The "B" stands for Black Steel. This material is a favorite in the Western world because it is designed to develop a natural patina or "rust" over time. To maintain the Myler B-17 Spur, we recommend a light coat of oil if you prefer to slow the oxidation process.

Q: How do I know which spur is for the left or right foot?

Myler spurs are ergonomically shaped to fit the contour of your boot. You’ll notice the curve of the band is specific to each side; when placed on the correct boot, the spur will sit flush against the heel without any awkward gaps or slipping.

Q: Is the #1 Rowel suitable for a sensitive horse?

The #1 Rowel is a 5-point rowel, which is considered a moderate signal. It is an excellent middle ground for horses that need a clear, direct cue but do not require the intensity of a high-point-count rowel.
