There is a real good horse trainer person, famous regionally, at le
skye, you posted recently about bad knees. Do you use EZ ride
stirrups? If I ride with anything else my knees kill me. Dont know
why exactly. Maybe the EZ rides give me more freedom to position my
feet in such a way that it doesnt strain knees? Anyway. just a
thought.
