Not sure about the north of England but the forest of dean and parts of Gloucestershire are reputed to play a game called "keep it in the family". Can´t see how these could be used for that. Spurs maybe?

Having just popped in and read through ~ I can see what Pprey means about spurs ~ but can't see how they would fit around the boot ~ and certainly some of them I don't think would be long enough ~ but have ho idea what other country pursuit would use something as small as this ~ if it turns out to be parts of a 'bit' then bless the poor horse!!
