It's funny how ...Oh yeah, makes perfect sense. It's funny how people get so used to a certain length of stirrup. I'm the opposite, I've actually been riding my horse in short jumping length stirrups because that is what feels safest to me. I don't like that feeling of reaching for your stirrup which is what long stirrups feels like to me (read: no dressage background).Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09066327510880156537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7503414269772613959.post-3483296300104111842011-04-23T10:08:01.197-04:002011-04-23T10:08:01.197-04:00Lucy says "thank you" for all the compli...Lucy says "thank you" for all the compliments :) She thinks she is quite gorgeous too ;) ;)<br /><br />If the fences were going to go any higher I would have put my stirrups up (and truthfully I could have put them up for today) but I feel more comfortable with my legs long and under me than having my stirrups cranked up because if anything goes wrong I want to have that solid base of support. So that was my thinking yesterday, but she was so incredibly good that I think both of us had a confidence boost and I will feel comfortable both raising the fences *and* my stirrups in the future :)Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08707037151404133158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7503414269772613959.post-52271764890860830432011-04-23T08:10:15.472-04:002011-04-23T08:10:15.472-04:00Lucy looks fantastic!

You look very strong and supportive though, for someone who claims to struggle!<br /><br />Lucy is so shiny and pretty!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09066327510880156537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7503414269772613959.post-74863239596192086892011-04-22T23:51:02.463-04:002011-04-22T23:51:02.463-04:00Lucy looks beautiful.Lucy looks beautiful.Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13944121836337072178noreply@blogger.com
