I'm amazed at people who adjust their leathers once and they stay at that
height forever. I adjust mine for practically every ride according to how
fast I'm riding. If it's a slow ride I like them about 1/2" longer. If
it's *competition* they're usually much shorter since that's when they
hit their "turbo only in competition trot". I've heard people say, "I
can't post that trot" and just wonder if they never got their stirrups
set just right for *that* trot.  Since I ride an OF and there are no
"holes" I find myself wanting them 1/4" longer or shorter and it making a
big difference. How anyone can make it with the western leathers with 2"
between holes is beyond me.
