Sure, there's no doubt that Stirrups were an improvement on the level of stability afforded a rider (amongst other things). The question, though, is by how much was their stability improved? Were they a revolution or a refinement? Were Ancient Cavalry in significantly greater danger of being pulled out of their saddles than Medieval Cavalry? I tend to doubt it, but, then, I'm no Cavalry Man (Nice pictures, by the way).

It is a joyful thing indeed to hold intimate converse with a man after one\'s own heart, chatting without reserve about things of interest or the fleeting topics of the world; but such, alas, are few and far between.

Yoshida Kenko (1283-1350), Tsurezure-Gusa (1340)
