If you’ve buckled down and worked hard this month on riding without stirrups to celebrate #NoStirrupNovember, then congratulations — you’ve nearly made it to December! (And don’t forget our sister site Horse Nation’s sweet contest running this month with Goode Rider!)
How is the month going for you? Have you reached your goals? Are you noticing that you’re stronger? Are you reaping the rewards of a November full of jelly-legs and aching muscles and perhaps some bruised tailbones (or egos)?
These riders certainly are!
