Continuing a long tradition, U.S. Soldiers with 2d Cavalry Regiment take part in a unit spur ride, an event that tested physical prowess and knowledge of common Soldier skills at Tower Barracks, August 20, 2015.
Historically, new cavalry troops required extensive horsemanship training when they arrived at a unit. Only after they had proven to be proficient atop a horse could the cavalrymen wear spurs.
