Must be getting old :)

Been on a great 2 and half hour hack this morning to beach then back through woods and fields mainly in walk with some trots. My knees are now agony and I am only 29
so much so that have bitten the bullet and ordered some sprenger stirrups after good reviews on here. Have some cheaper ones which have helped a bit but now want to try the sprengers hope they work.
Knees fine when schooling and shorter hacks.

That ride sounds lovely.

I know what you mean about your knees, however I am rather older than you!

I bought Sprenger stirrups and have been pleased with them. I do think they help. I was lucky enough to find some on ebay at a very good price.

Love my Sprenger stirrups

No more achey knees / ankles.

They will spoil you for riding with normal stirrups though lol

I am very excited about them arriving and am hoping they help with my jumping aswell x

I'm 25 and after a 2 1/2 hour ride had very achy knees. Although by the second half I had hoiked my stirrups up a hole for a gallop. I have a cheaper flexible stirrup, do the sprengers make that much of a difference? I may have to invest!

Mudmonkey, I'm 39 - only 10 years older than you - yesterday I hacked out, in walk only, then went for a cycle ride in the afternoon - only did 15 miles and today I'm in agony! I've got some Sprenger copies and they do seem to help
