OOh another test! 1. brida 2. jineta 3. brida 4. jineta with the rider seated quite far back 5. brida but the rider is holding the stirrup back so it's not hanging. Or she may be seated a litttle far back and it's jineta. 6. jineta 7. jineta but the rider has leg forward therefore the stirrup isn't hanging naturally so it looks brida
I have often ridden saddles where it is really hard to keep aligned because to do so means holding the stirrup back from it's hanging position. Then it feels all wrong in a saddle that is correctly aligned and I end up perched forward. This is all too confusing for a beginner. Maybe I'm on the verge of not being a beginner anymore just on the journey. Did I get any right? Sue Coombes
