Julia, your rossfecthen work is impressive. Allow me to suggest something to consider in future interpretations. Riding master John Adams, in his 1805 treatise 'An Analysis of Horsemanship', advocates a stirrup length similar to what we see in dressage or Western riding. Then he says that when delivering cuts with the sword, the rider rises up as in the hunt seat, maintaining contact with the saddle with the thighs, turning to the left or right as needed by rotating the hips still maintaining thigh contact. Interestingly, this is the same thing we do in polo when striking the ball.
Thank you for that input. In Fact Carl Timlich recommends that too in his "Abhandlung der Fechtkunst auf Hieb zu Fuß und zu Pferde...."...He says, that you should have the stirrups in a lengths, that you have space for one Fist under your but, if you stand up...On the other Hand in the drawing of that source they show very collected Horses and Riders who are always sitting in the saddle with a "Renaissance" seat (very stretched seat...mostly the leg, very long stirrups). I guess, the drawer did not really read the source...And here you can see, the conflict between Academic Riding and Military Riding who existed starting from the 15. Century till the 19. Century...Anyway...in real live, I did not stand in the stirrups in that Situation, since I came very close to the man on the ground, so I had enough reach. If I stand in the stirrups and lean downwards and ride as slow as I did, I risk, that the man on the ground steps in and pulls me down. So in this Situation, I preferred to sit in the saddle, to keep my center of gravity connected with the Horse to stay safe...
