Brrrrr! It’s chilly outside! I guess that’s what happens in the fall. I mean the days are shorter, and well, wintertime means colder riding weather.

I have been participating in not only one, but TWO No Stirrup November Challenges. And I must tell you, I wish I would have done this sooner. I really didn’t think about the benefits of riding without stirrups, until I actually made a point to start doing it. Intentionally. And many of my rides have …
