RE: [RC] English Endurance Saddle Stirrups - Nancy Mitts
Of course you can buy the 1" top bars and put them in yourself. But, according to EasyCare the nylon stirrups are NOT meant to be squeezed together that far. That's why they are only listed for 1.5".

Thanks to everyone who responded. I found that the EZ rides do come with a 1" top bar, but only in the aluminum style. I prefer to ride in the plastic caged version because I've seen a few crushed aluminum stirrups that happened when a horse fell down. I think I will try to use my existing stirrups and just buy a new top bar from Sportack.

EZ Ride stirrups do come in different bar lengths. I bought a pair with 1-12/" bars for my Specialized saddle and I have several pairs in 1" bars. Try Long Riders Gear in CA. That's where I bought my 1-1/2" stirrups, a more rare size than 1".
Hi - for those of you who ride in English endurance saddles, can you please tell me what kind of stirrups you use? I thought that EZ Ride stirrups came with a 1" top bar but I can't seem to find them on line. Do you use a different brand or just use a larger top bar?
