thanks for the websites. i could go on all day asking questions such as why dont the stirups come with the saddle why do you have to take them up after riding what is the little starp for on the back of the flap why does the saddle pad have staps on it why do some bridles have nose pieces and others have two. why do you have to where riding pants when riding why cant you just ware whats comfortable i could on all day why do ppl say that you have to have a tall lanky horse and so on.......so i think ill just read some sites but feel free to give advise.

cassidy · 04-20-2005, 12:33 PM

thats because stirrups are made in different sizes an it depends on your foot size to what size you get plus there are standard stirrup's an others such as safety stirrups but thats down to personal preferance

you put the stirrups up as its easier to store an less of a pain when carrying an putting on the saddle!

starp???

saddle pad has to straps on it to attach it to your saddle to help keep it in place! so it wont slip while riding

some bridles have two straps as some horses need a flash band! (a strap that stops them from opening their gob an fighting against the bit!)

jodphurs are just a comfortable form of riding an can help grip the saddle better but when riding english you can also where jeans an tracky bottoms if you want to

a tall lanky horse is just a large horse that has long bandy legs!

sure hope this helps
