Some of us are happier about it than others.

But for those who stuck it out and put in the hard work, the payoff is here.

Who needs stirrups?!! Look what NO STIRRUP NOVEMBER did for Ms Nicole Butchko – in just 6 months she has gone from jumping 2′ with stirrups to jumping 4′ (1m20) without stirrups!! Reaping the benefits of hard work! #nostirrupnovember #bigeq #equitation #proudcoach
