Hi Alex, Riding without stirrups can make riders feel strong and independent. Good for you for wanting to work without stirrups more. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Barbara

As a student I love having time to ride without stirrups, because I felt a good boost to my confidence in the past and it has definitely helped me use my seat and core to keep myself on the horse. I love the feeling I get from being more connected to horse. I’ve even been able to start feeling the movements of the hindlegs whilst I sit to the trot without stirrups.
I do wish I got more chances to work without stirrups so I might have to suggest it more often to my instructors.

Hi Cyndi,
This sounds like a good way to start. Are your students on the lunge line?

We ride in something similar to a vaulting surcingle until such time as their balance and coordination are relaible enough to ride with them.
