I want to improve my balance and muscles my making myself ride without my stirrups for a bit. I’m hoping to get up to 20 minutes once a week. I did this yesterday when I rode.
However, I have always had a problem of the stirrup leathers rub in against my inner thighs when posing. I’ve never been able to get them to a perfect position. I usually just ignore this but I really dislike rubbing my legs into soreness.
How do you all do it? Is there a special way you have to cross the stirrups over the whithers to stop this? Do you just remove the leathers when you are riding without stirrups?
