Removable stirrups allow for a child to develop balance before using. Some believe that if balance is not learned before using stirrups that the child will not distribute weight properly on each foot, and cause the saddle to slide to one side or the other.
Please keep in mind that stirrups on these type of saddles are only for use during riding, to help maintain balance. They are not for mounting. Saddles may slip if a childs balance is off during riding and more weight is placed on one side than the other, causing a child to fall, or the saddle to move out of the correct position. For this reason, stirrups are detachable, and should be removed if used in the wrong manner.
Removable stirrups also allow for multiple pads to to purchased inexpensively in different patterns, materials, without the added expensive of purchasing stirrups each time. Simply attach the stirrups to the pad you wish to use! FUN!
