>>>>> The point is that your foot can't slip through the stirrup. That happened recently to a rider using the EZ Ride stirrups w/out the cage and wearing Ariat Terrain boots- she came off and her foot slipped through the stirrup and she was dragged a ways and yes, this is a first hand account - not an I heard someone tell about... :-))-
Ouch, Laree, was it you, or someone you were riding with? I hope no one was badly hurt! BTW, the old rodeo guys will tell you that if you ever fall and your foot is stuck in the stirrup, that you should roll to to your belly and your foot will come loose. Now, if that ever happens to me, will I keep my wits about me and actually remember that...? I don't bank on it, so I ride with cages on my stirrups... Karen Thomas, NC
