Stirrup bars

[Daffy Dilly]

Once a saddle has been made, is there anyway of having the stirrup bars moved further back, or changed for longer ones so the stirrups themselves can be put further back? :confused:

Not really, each tree is designed to have a specific style of bar.

You'd have to do some major surgery to the saddle.

Will add a dressage saddle to the shopping list then. :cool:

I've managed to kind of sort it. It's one of those where the stirrup bars are quite far forwards, so a hairtie wrapped around the bar and a couple of hair pins through is making the stirrup leather stay at the other end of the bar, so I can sit in a semi better position.

I'm resourceful me :p
