re: SS cinch and posting

Regarding the SS girth-wish you could order it without the cinch
it comes with. Even though it is a very nice, well made, thick
felt cinch, I don't like felt. My friends and I have all switched
to either neoprene or biothane cinches with this saddle.

Also wish you could order it without the expense of the stirrups.
Again, we have all switched to Flex-ride stirrups with this saddle
and love them.

Linda, on the posting, my reccomendation is for a while, to not
try to post! Try to just "float" an inch or so above the saddle,
just clearing it. I often use my thighs to keep me up out of the
seat, it's not even a true two point. My endurance model has
the stirrups moved back, and it is very easy to do this. Even when
I do post, I hardly rise much. It will just take some practice,
then will be second nature.

My training and schooling model has the stirrups in the normal
position, and it is a bit harder to post.
