I've got them... Don't remember how we did it, but I use them whenever the BO's neices/nephews/itty bitty ones want to come down and ride. Helmet and toe stoppers and I fell *much* safer having the kids on the horse. I loff the toe stoppers for them but can't stand to ride on them myself. They are slick and I don't like the change in how the stirrup feels. My stirrups have felt the same for 15 years now, I don't want anything bouncy, soft, slick, more grippy. I want my plain $20 heavy weight irons! >bg< (that *may* change as I age ;) ) Steph -- "Brutality begins where skill ends."
