Senior moment? >bg< I got my mother some shock absorbing Irons. Found them on Ebay, they're called GPGs and are from Europe. They look very traditional, and you can adjust how much give you want in them. She's got arthiritis from a car accident and I thought they might help her, but I just can't get used to them for me. I feel like I'm going to just go 'Boing' and bounce off the horse with them. It's terrible, and it's terrible to change my leathers and irons out everytime I want to ride since she doesn't ride much, but I guess that's what I'm going to try and do!
