RC: Best Sports Saddle combination?

[Keeyun@aol.com]

Hi,
I want to equip myself and my 3 years old arabian for endurance and 
competitive trails. I am a novice in this discipline =
and I am in the process of buying a sports saddle so, I was wondering if my 
choice of options was good. I would really li=
ke to have some comments on the following combination.

I want to buy a 15" SS with a reiner front, 4" cantle with the cheyenne roll 
and strirrups move back 1/2"(is it better to=
 have the stirrups move back1"?). I am also thinking of buying a quick cinch 
(biothane) to replace the felt cinch who com=
es with it (but is it better to use a wool cinch?). For the pad, I choose the 
skito pad but I don't know if it is better =
with the 3/4" or 1" inserts. I also choose the E-Z ride stirrups but I don't 
know if it would be better with the cage? Wh=
at about the reins ? If I choose the biothane reins with Rubber Grips which 
size should I choose ( 5/8" or 3/4"). I will =
also buy a biothane bridle/halter and breast collar. 

Did I forgot anything? Or do you have any other recommendation before I buy 
all those little things for me and my best bu=
ddy Metronum.

Thanks and happy trails.
