If you do not need to maintain the full western look, you could just 
  substitute english leathers for the fenders or the 2" leathers 
they sell for some of the endurance saddles --those would work 
better with western stirrups than the 1" english leathers.  I've put 
english leathers on a western saddle to allow really short stirrups 
for kids, and to accomadate english riders who dis-liked the 
stiffness of the western fenders; they worked just fine.

Cheers,
Teresa
