From jumping saddle to dressage saddle

[Copperpot]

Rode in my new dressage saddle for first time today. Until now I've done everything in a close contact jumping saddle. It's feels weird!!

I like the saddle, as in I feel secure in it, but have dropped my stirrups 6 holes and it feels awful

Should I shorten them and drop them a hole or so over time until I get used to the new length? Or just put up with it and in time it will feel normal?

Maybe try riding without stirrups for a little bit to deepen your seat and stretch your legs?

Thanks. Will do that tomorrow!
