BACKGROUND: Asymmetry of stirrups and rider experience level has shown to impact rider symmetry and position.
OBJECTIVES: This study aims to determine if novice and advanced riders can detect stirrup asymmetry in the same frequency, hypothesizing that advanced riders would detect asymmetry in a greater frequency.
METHODS: Ten stock-type horses and 10 (5 advanced, 5 novice) riders, paired together to test random stirrup treatments. Riders were assigned to a horse for 2 rides, one with asymmetric stirrups, the other with symmetric stirrups, but blinded to their treatments. At the end of both rides, they took a survey and answered questions about the ride and symmetry.
RESULTS: Correct stirrup identification was found in 60 % of advanced and 50 % of novice riders (P = 0.10). Advanced riders were found to ride a greater hours per week than novice (P = 0.033).
CONCLUSION: Weekly riding frequency may impact asymmetry identification, not just experience.
