RE: [RC] [RC] Anyone use "regular" English stirrups instead of EZ-rides? - ColleenSupersat2-----Original Message----- From: INFO CAROUSEL ACTION WEAR INC [mailto:info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, April 19, 2005 8:58 AM To: 'Nell Lindquist'; 'ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: RE: [RC] [RC] Anyone use "regular" English stirrups instead of EZ-rides? Hi Nell, I was lucky, while attending the AERC convention I bumped into Bob Foster who designed one of the first flex type stirrups for the endurance sport way back when...I was young. I've been using his stirrups for approximately 13 years and I can't ride without them. Skeptic as I am I found his stirrups did what he claimed. They eliminated my problem with painful feet, shins and knees. I also ride with English paddock boots and really appreciate the stirrups with the toe cage because it prevents my foot from sliding through the big opening. The Flex Stirrups can be used with 1 or 2 inch stirrups leathers. So if you ride an English or Endurance or Western saddles you don't have to buy stirrups for each saddle. Besides once you have your stirrups broken I certainly don't like to switch. Bob did came into our booth (Carousel / Skito) at the AERC. I convinced Bob to stop hording his stirrups and let me share them with the rest of the endurance riders. So he sent me 13 pair and I have all most sold those. Bob told me he might have 40 pair left...so if you're looking for those "flex stirrups' that work...give me a call. The cost is $70.00 plus shipping and they are worth it.

I have a friend who broke her foot and was looking for a wide-based english style stirrup to use afterward. She went to Charlotte's Saddlery in Houston, TX and found a pair of black "plastic" english stirrups that have a very wide base - they resemble Aussie stirrups with the three or four bars on the bottom. She loves them, as she also has knee problems - finds they have some give to them as well. They cost her about $25 for the pair, but, unfortunately, she cannot remember the brand name. Charlotte's has a web-site, but other english tack shops may carry a similar item. ---NELL =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
