Re: [RC] western saddles - Chris Paus

Mine is a western endurance saddle so the stirrup bars
are where they should be. However, on a western
saddle, the stirrup bars are quite long, so you could
fashion some sort of "stop" to keep the leathers back
where you want them. Shouldn't be too difficult.

keep the stirrup back where it's more comfy?  Or
will my body eventually 
adapt to the stirrups being further forward?
