why is the off iron tied in place on the near side?? Horse people know what I mean.. for those that aren't horse people the Off side is the right side of the horse.. the iron is the stirrup iron and the near side is the left side of the horse.. when I blew up a still shot the iron is clearly tied in place over the withers on the near side and the near iron is hanging free from the leathers where it should be... I've NEVER used this in any training of horses in my long life.. wondering if there is a meaning here...
The off Stirrup (Iron) has simply been thrown over the wither, either from the canter or maybe when the Trooper on the horse fell off? Done it many times.
