Spur
A
spur is a metal tool designed to be worn in pairs on the heels of
riding boots for the purpose of directing a
horse to move forward or laterally while
riding. It is usually used to refine the
riding aids (commands) and to back up the natural aids (the leg, seat, hands and voice). The spur is used in many equestrian disciplines. There are rules in most equestrian organizations about spur design, use and penalties for using spurs in any manner that constitutes
animal abuse.
San Francisco Planning and Urban Research Association
SPUR, formerly known as
San Francisco Planning and Urban Renewal Association, is a non-profit research, education, and advocacy organization focused on issues of
planning and governance. SPUR's history dates back to 1910, when a group of young city leaders came together to improve the quality of housing after the
1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire. That group, the San Francisco Housing Association, authored a hard-hitting report which led to the State Tenement House Act of 1911.
