Thank you for the translation of Junkelmann, Kai; very interesting.
I would argue that your statement here IS about riding. If you twist and turn in a saddle with or without stirrups you interfere with the balance of the horse.
If you're wearing that much armour, can you twist and turn that much anyway I wonder?
Quote:...Again, it is not so much about riding as it is about the ability to lean and strike to the sides, to turn around, and to turn in your saddle. Here the stirrups are useful, especially when wearing lots of armour.
