Location: MN		I have a horse that will literally throw be forward in the turn causing my legs to be thrown back. I love me Slone so I want ideas from others on ways they have hobbled their stirrups forward. One person told me twine string from the stirrup leathers and tied up to the breastcollar ring?

Location: Central Texas		I have used leather or nylon dog collars and secured them to the legging and the D ring on my saddle where the girth/billets go. I do not secure them to the breastcollar because I feel like that will pull on my horse's chest/shoulders. I did this for a while because I didn't want to admit that really the seat of my saddle was too small and that was what actually caused me to go foward sending my feet behind me.

Location: Beggs, OK		Anytime I've gotten thrown forward it was a saddle fit issue.  Your balance point is off.  When you find the right saddle you'll understand what I mean.

Tying to the breastcollar really only works for children who are light enough that it won't hinder the horses stride.
