Hey, I love my SS, but I'm baffled by the above statements.  I want to
change the position of my stirrup rigging, but that would require sending my
saddle back to the factory.  They say they'd need a month to make the
change, but their track record tells me that it would be more like 2-3
months.  I don't have another saddle to use in the meantime, so that won't
work for me.

I took my SS to a highly respected and very skilled local saddle
fitter/repair guy to have him do the work.  He opened up the saddle and
threw up his hands.  Moving the rigging would have torn all the internal
foam padding to shreds.

Please tell me how my "Stirrup setting can be easily changed"!!
