Mitä tarkoittaa

Spuri on metallinen tai muovinen lisävaruste, joka kiinnitetään ratsastajan saappaan kantapäähän. Spurien pääasiallinen tarkoitus on antaa ratsastajalle paremman kontrollin hevosesta, erityisesti kilpailutilanteissa. Ne voivat olla erilaisia muotoja ja kokoja, ja niiden käyttö on yleistä ratsastuksessa. Spurit voivat aiheuttaa hevoselle epämukavuutta, jos niitä käytetään väärin tai liikaa, joten ratsastajien on oltava varovaisia niiden käytössä.
