[RC] Changing stirrups on a Sports Saddle - Dyane Smith
I have an SS barrel racing style saddle. I
need to change out the barrel racing stirrups for some with a wider base, but
the stirrup "leathers" ( can you tell, I'm more used to English saddles) are
sewn together. Since the material is nylon or some other synthetic, I am
loath to change anything without being sure I can get it back the way it needs
to go. Has anyone had experience changing out stirrups on this kind of
saddle? What should I do to "reconnect" the leathers after I cut the
stitching? And, on that note, how do you cut stitching on SS
leathers?
