Stirrups & flaps

["Kathy Mayeda" <kathy_mayeda@atce.com>]

I just read Truman's post on his saddle experience and I wanted
to relay to you that I tried the same saddle that he is riding on
and I didn't like it because the stirrup bars were too forward
and rubbed the inside of my thighs.  Having the stirrup bars
too forward puts you in an a "chair seat" which plays havoc
when you want to ride on the flat and maintain a balanced,
centered seat.  I found myself struggling with these two issues.

I think that if you had longer legs, this might not be as bad;
but I have real short legs and the problem is accentuated.

Good luck!  You have some very intelligent questions to ask.

Kathy, again.
