Question about stirrups for working hunter.

[irishshowpony]

Hi all..
My daughter will be doing alot of WH classes this season including Hoys qualifiers..
She unfortunatly has hypermobile syndrome and badly over rotates through her knees especially. Day to day and SJ she rides in flexons which have absoloutly helped but when she jumped in regular peacock stirrups at wh recently her knees were terribly sore.
So my question is would it be totally wrong to let her ride in her flex ons for working hunter classes?

I personally cannot see why that would be a problem so long as you dont go for a 'colour' option for the stirrup. I see they do plain silver ones.

Or, what about swapping out a peacock pair purely for the time in the ring? So long as the leathers were not brand new this swap shouldnt be too painful to perform swiftly.

I can't see a problem either as long as they are plain coloured, which worker classes will you be entering? As it could be worth checking the society rule books...

133 whp and starter stakes. Have emailed the bsps and IPS so fingers crossed plain silver ones will be allowed.
