Even open shows have ruling organizations, for example in California most open shows are governed by the AHSA or CHSA. You can go online to find the most up-to-date rules and regulations.

Spurs are widespread throughout the equestrian world and have a long history of use, dating at least from the time of the Roman Empire. Though spurs are utilitarian, some are decorative as well and made from precious metals. In medieval Europe, spurs were symbolic of knighthood. Early spurs simply had a "prick" end, but by the 14th century, the rowel, a revolving sharp-toothed wheel, was most popular. Squires historically wore silvered spurs, while knights wore gilded ones. Spurs, especially gold ones, were considered a mark of rank and pride, and to be divested of one's spurs was symbolic of disgrace. Conquering armies sometimes confiscated their opponents' spurs and hung them on display as a sign of their victory. Today, spurs vary widely in design, and there are conventions regarding the type of spurs used in different riding styles. Most Western-style riders use fairly long spurs with a rowel that is rolled along the flank of the horse. English-style riders typically use a shorter, blunt spur to goad the horse. There are many variations available on both spur types described above.
