Week One passed by in a haze of jelly-legs and difficulty walking up and down the stairs; Week Two was marked by a sense of grim determination. As we close the chapter of Week Three, there’s a new emotion starting to permeate social media about #NoStirrupNovember: strength.
Whether you ride hunters, jumpers, western, dressage or eventing, riders all across Horse Nation are starting to discover just how much #NoStirrupNovember is paying off. Bonus shout-outs to the equestrians who have not only pulled their stirrups but are forging full-speed ahead with their regular fitness programs as well!
45 Minutes of no stirrups. My legs are screaming for mercy. Now time for kettle bells squats to add to the pain. #nostirrupnovember
