I bought some of these sheepskin stirrup/flap covers from Cindy at 
the Sunland ride, Nov 2000.  They've been through the river, rained 
on, sweated on of course, and are in great shape--if you want to see 
how they hold up, come by the ReactorPanel booth; I'm bringing them 
to display.

One of the great things about them is that they come in three sizes 
lengthwise; I'm using the mediums over Wintec Webbers, and it's an 
exact fit with my Easy Ride plastic stirrups.  There is a loop that 
goes on the stirrup bars.  I had previously been using sheepskin 
stirrup covers that were tubes, and there was so much movement that 
they wore out within a year.  These stay put, and have a backing of 
cordura, so it feels like a single layer, much more comfortable.  The 
backing material does not leave marks on  the leather saddle.
