I have been out of anything English for almost a decade, so am kind of playing catch up a bit at the moment.

These popped up on a sale page yesterday, I am still trying to figure out which way is out, and am just curious as to opinions of them. Not something I plan on using as I am a philistine and ride with western stirrups on a dressage saddle .

They are similar to those wedge stirrup treads you can get. I think the way you hang the depends on what you are doing/ your own personal conformation

For dressage i *believe* you have the higher side to the inside to aid wrapping leg around the horse
For jumping you have the higher side to the outside to stabilise your knee and lower leg against the horse.

Dunno! I wouldnt buy them either! :eek:
