Re: [RC] [RC] stirrup leather length ? - Kathy MayedaFind a good Centered Riding or similar instructor to check on your body position on your horse. Sometimes you could be habitually riding crooking so riding "straight" could make you feel caddywampus until your body memory gets used to it. I wouldn't be riding with different stirrup lengths becasue that would only encourage more assymmetry. Your horse could also be higher on one side than the other so the instructor needs to check that too! Tru stretching your arm up and reaching down with your leg on the short side while riding and noticing if that makes you feel more even.
This problem is a lot more common than you think. Unless I take instruction once in awhile, I go back to my old crooked habits. If you have a notepad from the 2007 AERC convention, that's a behind shot of me on my grey horse at Cuyama XP. I'm riding with a pretty good C curve to the left! It's worth it to work on this issue because you could cause unnecessary stress on you and your horse by riding crooked for miles.
