Re: need advice about tack

Can you stand another post on EZ stirrups?  I have EZ stirrups and 
will never part with them.  I had them on my Wintec (1" leathers) and 
now have them on my Sharon Saare.  They are the best stirrup I have 
ever used.  No more "sleeping" feet or pain (especially since I broke 
my foot!).  My only suggestion would be to consider the cages.  My 
trainer always nags me about that (I don't have cages).

But I agree with everyone about the weight.  Sure is fun trying to 
carry the saddle without banging my shins.  I have tried putting the 
stirrups over the top.  They stay in place, but are leaving terrible 
marks on the softer leather seat.  Any suggestions out there in 
email land on how to handle the saddle equiped with EZ stirrups so as 
not to damage the saddle or me?
