I have EZ ride stirrups, and loved them when I was in a western style 
saddle. However, I'm back to an English saddle, and while I found a saddle 
that fits my mare wonderfully and has incredible balance for me, I've found 
that when I switch to my EZ ride stirrups, my balance is affected. My leg is 
no longer underneath me, but slightly in front. I think this is because of 
the width of the stirrup platform, so I have to push my foot further 
forward. I feel much more secure in my regular stirrups - it is much easier 
to two point and post with my leg properly aligned.

I'm just wondering if there is a good middle ground somewhere - something 
that will give me a little more comfort without sacraficing my position. 
Anyone use the jointed stirrups that flex? Any other ideas? Thanks
