spurs
Cowboy heel wheels
Spurs are pointed devices worn on a rider's heels to urge a horse forward.
The word extends to anything that prods or motivates: The tax break was a spur to investment.
To spur is to urge on: She spurred her team to finish.
Spurs also names sharp projections—a rooster's leg spike, a mountain ridge jutting outward, or a short branch line from a main railroad or road.
