Re: [RC] [RC] western saddles - Rosalie MarleyI used to have an orthoflex (it was made around 1990). The fenders hung from the
tree, but the slot was very long and the fenders would slide forward or backward. My
rep had me drill a hole in the tree and screw the fender in place. Made it hard to
adjust the length though.
I hated the fenders and replaced them with the biothane "aussie" "leathers" (much
wider than english leathers and screwed those in place too.

Re: [RC] western saddles - Alice Yovich
One of the things that the saddle guy did was to shorten my fenders b/c my legs are
too short for hte saddle. He did show me that with the fenders shortened, the leather
has more swing so maybe that will give them a little more room.
I talked to my husband, Mr. Computer geek, into helping me design a stop. I'm not
sure what to make it out of though or how to wrap it.

Mine is a western endurance saddle so the stirrup bars
are where they should be. However, on a western
saddle, the stirrup bars are quite long, so you could
fashion some sort of "stop" to keep the leathers back
where you want them. Shouldn't be too difficult.
