[RC] WEster Saddle Fixes - bechack

You can "fix" a western saddle.  

Stirrups too far forward.  Take the leathers off.  Remove 1/2" from
the rear of the leather.  Rethread.  If they still move around, you
can "block" them in to place with the cut off piece put in front, so
they won't migrate forward.

Sometimes just making them narrower is all that it takes.

Knee, ankle, hip pain....Do the above and make the stirrup end
narrower allowing more freedom of movement also.  You then need to
make the top of the stirrup narrower also.  If you already use EZ
Ride type stirrups , this is pretty easy to do.
