Re: Need Advice About Tack

I broke the one cardinal rule about endurance rides with EZ Ride stirrups. 
I ended up with a friends pair in the back of my truck at an endurance ride
and she wasn't there so I used them...then I bought them.  The are the most
comfortable things I've ever used!!  Well worth the money!!

They are heavy and the hurt like hell if you hit yourself in the head with
them though!!!  (don't ask!)
