Hi, Just wondering if anyone knows were you can get these. I saw it in a catalogue ages ago and I can't remember where. Its a pocket stirrup extender - its like a flexible stirrup iron thet hooks onto your own stirrup and gives about a 6 inch or so extension for mounting. Anyone know what I am talking about and if so where you can get them???
 
I tried these as i thought they would be useful if i had to remount out hacking but found that although I could now get my left foot in the stirrup extension thingey I could not get my right leg to swing over the horse's back!

Basically once a short a** always a short a**. Hope it works for you!
 
Don't waste your money! I got one, and yes I could get my left foot in but as said by Lenehorse, its hard then to get your right leg high enough to mount - you'd be better off lowering your left stirrup a tad longer to get on, or find a hump in the ground somewhere!
 
I to had been thinking about them but a friend said only today that she too could not get her left leg over. I found the only way to remount my large horse was to put him in a ditch! LOL
