I have much more of a lower leg problem with him, but I also keep my stirrups longer on him than I do on P. I do think my other issue is my tendency to use my heel to get a response when Stampede ignores my first request. Keeps me from having a steady leg. The pony gets very angry and refuses to move forward with any spurs I've tried though and I hate to go around using a crop on him a billion times a ride. <br /><br />And happy birthday!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-67417342872441709802014-10-06T08:36:00.838-04:002014-10-06T08:36:00.838-04:00Happy Birthday!!
