The Spur Question

[L Verge]

I'm sure one of you cowboys/cowgirls knows ... what effect does it have to ride with just one spur?

I was hoping that either Wild Bill or Rick Smith would pick up on this and comment. Bill is an Arizona cowboy and retired farrier, and Rick's family raised Thoroughbreds and rode to the hounds. He's an expert horseman. Know-nothing me just assumed that riders who wore spurs always had them on both boots.
