[RC] stirrups - carrie - Kitley, Carrie E Civ USAF AFSPC 30 MDSS/SGSLF

I couldn't disagree more.  If you're a decent rider, all you have to do is 
adjust your timing at the post a little bit and that's pretty much automatic if 
you have a good sense of timing.  The stirrups are awesome for lessoning the 
impact on the joints.  You would have to attach your stirrups with a bungee 
cord to elicit the type of reaction Kat is referring to.  IMHO

Finally, I had seen once some kind of contraption that
?connected the stirrups to the leathers with a kind of
?spring function - to provide more cushioned effect for
?bum knees and ankles and hips - anyone know where
?to find such a thing?

Personally, I cannot recommend this "kind of contraption" as it will put you 
behind the motion of your horse when you post at the trot (i.e. you will still 
be going down when the horse is on its way back up).
