ABSTRACT:
A rowel for use on a spur during horseback and bull riding. A rubber composition coating is applied to a rigid metal blank comprising a central portion having a screw hole and integral, circumferentially-spaced, radiating arms. The blank is tapered radially outward from a first, maximum thickness at the central portion, to a second, minimum thickness at an outer edge of each arm, such that the thickness of the improved, rubber coated rowel is everywhere uniform. Versions of the improved rowel for saddleback riding and for bull riding have longitudinal serrations in the rubber coating surface. The improved rowel eliminates the risk of lacerating the hide of a horse or bull, especially when ridden in rodeo competition, and reduces the risk of other kinds of rowel-induced injury to the animal.
