Steph rode at Teregganu with leather stirrup leathers and shorted  
them 2 HOLES after the second loop(of course that means they were two  
holes longer than when she started). A comment on the weight she was  
putting on the stirrup (riding in the dark on a good horse in the  
heat and humidity and rain:) -- make adjustments during competitions  
when needed i if un-comfort sets in.:)
