ETCHED GLASSWARE

 

Nothing compliments cowboy boots better than a pair of western spurs. Nothing says old west better then the jingle of a pair of western spurs. But, most of all, nothing tells your horse to getting going better then a pair of western spurs. They look great, sound great and are a functional piece of cowboy equipment. Just like your boots and saddle, they have to fit right and be put on correctly to do the job.
