trick for setting your leathers further back on stirrup bar
A trick for the stirrup bars is to take some rubber bands and put it on the stirrup bar, or even a super tiny section of small hose (like really small)
This “sets back” your leathers a little, but doesn’t put them so far back as to create a safety issue.
It’s a trick that can work, if you like everything else about your saddle except the stirrup bars feeling like they are too forward ( a common problem)

Thanks Kyrabee. That gives me a good idea, although I’d like to think East coast would be a bit cheaper. For sure $316 added to the price doesn’t make it worth it for me. Oh well.
What really intrigued me about the saddle was its adjustable stirrup bar, which is more common on saddleseat saddles. (This is a dressage saddle.) Because I am so short, I often find that the stirrup bar is placed too far forward for me to easily get the correct alignment. I’d love to try the adjustable bar. And yes, I know that there are a few to be had here, but I also want brown. So with every added limitation a good used fit becomes harder to find. Especially in the $1000 or under price range.
Back to the search. :)[/QUOTE]
