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

piece of cowboy equipment. Just like your boots and saddle, they have to fit
right and be put on correctly to do the job.
