Description
For a centered, balanced, and controlled seat, it is optimal to have the seating point and stirrup leathers positioned close to each other.
This allows you to sit more upright and, most importantly, rise without needing to lean forward to shift your center of gravity over the base of support (the feet).
The Stirrup Leather Stops are slipped onto the stirrup bars, which moves the stirrup leathers back by just over 1 cm. This can make a significant difference for many riders’ positions, and thereby also improve the saddle’s ability to distribute weight, and last but not least, provide a valuable difference for the horse.
The stops fit most stirrup bars, but we cannot guarantee they fit all of them. Some stirrup bars are slightly thicker at the end, and in such cases, you can try using some oil and, if needed, a screwdriver and hammer to gently tap them into place. Once the stop passes the end, it should slide on easily.
