Hi! I have an idea for a video. What to expect or how to prepare for a visit from your saddle fitter. I've never had one and hope to soon once lock down is over. Thanks for all the info. I love your videos!!!

Also do you recommend the jointed or flexible fillis stirrup irons for all around performance (little dressage/flatworm/little jumping/)? You seem so knowledgeable and I really would love some guidance on a couple of things. Sorry for the multiple comments

It depends if you want safety stirrups - so you can't get dragged, if so, I recommend the Acavallo Arena Safety ones to a lot of people. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHzLm3aGeah6idk

My stirrup leathers are so hard to bend. I got the nylon 54 inch length and 1 inch wide from Nunn Finer they were around 100$ Supposedly high quality. Putting them on my jointed stirrups was so so hard and then once they were on they weren’t pliable. Like I feel like I need to stand on them to flatten them. Is this normal? Do I just need to break them in? I have never actually bought brand new leathers before so that’s why I’m asking..is this normal

Also is that a Ragdoll kitten?? I have a Ragdoll kitten, favorite kitty breed

Wrapping your stirrups is about a hole and a half if you don't want to punch holes or spend money just wrap them and then drop it a hole.
