Sports Saddle answers

[Deanna German <dgerman@earthlink.net>]

Thanks to those who took the time to answer my questions about the
placement of the stirrups.

After evaluating my riding style, I have changed my saddle order and
decided to let the kind folks at Sports Saddle put my stirrups in the
standard position. (IOW, I'm leaving it the hell alone for now.)

For anyone who doesn't like where their stirrups are on the SS, I found
out you can get it changed for $125 (lots cheaper than a new saddle even
after selling the used one!).

Also, they let me customize the trainer model considerably. I ordered
the crupper ring and the dees available on the endurance version. I also
ordered the lower pommel and put a cheyanne roll on the cantle. I left
the cantle at the taller training model height because I like the added
security should my filly decide to rear (she shown tendencies to like
doing that). Lastly, I requested the endurance stirrups. All of those
changes added about $75 (almost the price of the endurance model) and I
get the suede security for my youngster.
