I hate changing the length of my stirrups!
I have been having issues with my forward seat, @carthorse had mentioned I might benefit from one hole shorter.
Usual length.
My core feels weak
No weight in my heels. The spin she did caused me to lose a stirrup. No surprises there then!
But mentally I felt secure.
So I upped a hole.
Felt perched
Too much weight
Heels were down.
Felt tension as she went a bit tense.
Mentally felt insecure.
Changed back and then back again.
After half an hour I felt in the saddle and not perched.
Canter was lovely when I got it. She is very sensitive to change and my whole body will have altered.
If I go back to the dressage saddle I will have this issue of lengthening.
