I dont know how to describe it well... but for me, the thing that makes EZ rides a MUST HAVE for me is that with a normal stirrup you put your foot and there is only one position allowed. With EZ rides there is a "platform" so to speak. I can toe in, toe out, one toe in one toe out, all that, and feel secure and it doesnt create knee pain liek other stirrups. But when I rode in my husbands EZ rides with tapaderos it was at a field trial and there you ride totally off trazil. I was getting snagged by spanish bayonet, palmetto etc and there was always the sensation that my foot placement was more fixed and limited, like with traditional stirrups. It just seems to decrease for me the sensation that I have a lot of room to play around on the "platform" of the EZ rides. janice -- yipie tie yie yo
