Let's talking about saddles lifting when you're jumping 🐴

It's a well discussed topic, should they lift should they remain flush against your horses back? What does it mean if they are lifting? Well, put it this way your saddle is a static object whilst your horse is a dynamic animal, so there is bound to be some movement especially when your horse jumps forming a bascule shape 🐴🙌

🤔Too short? Too long? Or just right?

Finding your ideal stirrup length should be based on your body and your physical ability, not tradition, trends or what someone else’s stirrups look like.

👀 Look at all the lines on the Core top and Align Jods - don’t just look at the stirrup length!

One of the biggest myths in the equestrian world is that longer stirrups automatically create a better position.

In reality, longer stirrups increase the physical demands placed on the rider. As stirrups get longer, less weight is supported through the feet and more is supported through the seat. The leg becomes a longer lever, the stirrup provides less support, and the rider needs greater balance, stability and pelvic control to maintain their position.

That’s why some riders actually improve when their stirrups are shortened by a hole or two.

This is one of the reasons I love my custom-made dressage saddle from (not just the pink parts, honest 😉). It allows me to adjust stirrup length and knee block position to suit the rider’s body, rather than forcing the rider to fit the saddle. Offering different shaped/size blocks, like they do, is the way forward for dressage saddles 💪.

Too often riders choose knee blocks based on appearance or trends. Knee blocks should suit your mobility, flexibility, leg length and physical ability - not the latest fashion.

The saddle should support the rider.

The rider shouldn’t have to contort themselves to fit the saddle.

Which length suits this rider best - 1, 2 or 3? 👇
