What is a Spur Ride or Order of the Spur?

A Cavalry Trooper enters the Order of the Spur through a Spur Ride.  A Spur Ride is a series of rigorous physical, professional, and technical activities.  The completion of a Spur Ride recognizes the Trooper's leadership skills and excellence in the Cavalry.

Throughout history, Cavalry units have been readily identifiable by their Stetsons and Spurs.  As the Army was modernized and horses were traded for tanks and helicopters, the Cavalry held onto its distinctive traditions. These traditions are a reminder of the Cavalry’s glorious past and tend to set apart the Cavalry Trooper from his more traditional brethren. The Spurs evolved into a source of distinction to recognize the best of the Cavalry.

Today, Cavalrymen are still distinguished by their unique hats, or “Stetsons,” as they are now called. The Spurs, however, are awarded to only a deserving few.  These few represent the best of the best and embody all that has been, is, and will be great about the U.S. Cavalry.
