Re: [RC] English stirrup leathers for Cheyenne - rides2far



Angie, are you using those on a BF Cheyenne, or a different saddle?

I just called Barefoot and they said the stirrup rings are exactly 
2"... so I'm
wondering if the 2" stirrup straps would be too tight of a fit.



You keep saying "rings". I'm used to stirrups hanging over "bars" which
is what mine hang from. If what you're going through really is round, I
would think it would crimp up a 2" biothane, make it lumpy and hard to
adjust.

LOVE my 2" Biothane leathers. I'm sure they make sheepskin covers 

for

them since all Ortho-Flex used to come with them. No problems on 

the

turning. Not that stiff. E-Z rides & other endurance stirrups come 

with a

2" bar if you request it. You couldn't pay me to ride in English 

stirrups

after riding in E-Z rides!

the

ones that
Barefoot markets to go with them... specifically biothane 

leathers

in either
1.5" or 2".  (Will 2" leathers even fit through the stirrup 

ring?)


Can you get black sheepskin covers to go over leathers that 

wide?

If so, from
where?

I thought perhaps the 2" leathers would stop that issue with the
leathers being
so much narrower than the stirrup ring that they slid front to 

back

and had to
be anchored in place.

I've never used 2" stirrup leathers before, only 1" english 

leathers

and regular
western fenders.  Do you end up with similar issues to western
fenders, ie
difficulty getting them to turn correctly for comfortable 

stirrup

position?

TIA,
