This message is from: Linda Lottie <horselo...@hotmail.com> gail.....my old show saddle has that type of stirrup. I'll use that one.
Actually, I am not sure if she can actually put her feet in a stirrup......I have a great Paralli bareback pad that would keep her secure at the walk. We will experiment.....

The ones where there is a piece of leather wrapped around the stirrup flap, and then tied in place. I recently bought a saddle like this, and was amazed at how much easier it was to stay in the saddle. You might be able to come close to duplicating the effect by aggressively wetting and turning the stirrups with a two by four put through the stirrups while the saddle is stored. > > Gail > > I have a good friend who had polio as a child.
