I cant live without EZ rides and I put them on every saddle i ever use and I cant reallly figure out what there is about them that help me feel more secure. I dont jam my feet real deep in them. I kinda think its that I am not in a fixed position in the stirrup. because they are so wide I can kinda angle my feet at an angle that is more safe and secure for me. I have very chubby thighs and if you try and force me into a correct dressage position it just doesnt work at all. Picture a kid in a snow suit with arms and legs straight out :) something like that :) Its more than just not having knee pain after a while like I do in other stirrups, there really is a sense of security. Also in english stirrups I feel like they are too free moving. Dont knw why or why I feel EZ rides arent. Just do. when I put pressure in the stirrup it doesnt go anywhere real fast like an english stirrup does... Janice-- yipie tie yie yo
