#NoStirrupNovember Social Media Round Up: Week 1

It’s that time of year…

Ah yes, No Stirrup November — the month when equestrians collectively question all their life choices. 🥴 What started as a noble effort to build strength and balance has somehow turned into a global support group for riders waddling like penguins and screaming “core engagement!” through tears. From heroic attempts to survive the sitting trot to dramatic dismounts that could qualify for hazard pay, here’s our roundup of the funniest, most relatable, and slightly painful posts from the first week of #NoStirrupNovember.

Hold on tight (well… metaphorically).

Note: If some of the posts don’t load for you automatically, hit refresh. We’re not sure why… just roll with it.

Honestly, I feel this post in my bones. These are my people.

Hang in there, Horse Nation. November is only… 37 weeks long…
