Personal observation:*

Some folk put to much pressure on the balls of their feet when they ride.  I 
had some foot pain until I messed up my knee.  Since this was before 
arthroscopic surgery, I did tons of PT for 4-5 years.   Because I had to 
ride with minimal strain on knees, I learned to be light in the stirrups. 
Foot pain went away and has stayed away.

I would guess that an equitation instructor who could teach a person to ride 
lightly, probably by training without stirrups, would accomplish the same 
thing even better than my self taught equitation.

Sometime if you supply a campfire and a case of Moose Drool, I may explain 
my fear of  athletic coaches/trainers.
