Ho...Too bad you weren't feeling 100% this week. Hopefully next week everything will be back to normal and all good.<br /><br />I agree with Karen's suggestion about trying to adjust the rotation on your stirrups. When I did it, I put my saddle on the rack, twisted the stirrup half a turn, stuck a broom handle through them and left it overnight, It definitely helped!Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01892171126205170882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639697700009231176.post-18832493110341610962013-10-06T19:25:08.503-07:002013-10-06T19:25:08.503-07:00It may be the stirrups are twisting your feet out ...It may be the stirrups are twisting your feet out and you have to exert pressure to keep them facing the same way as your toes. A good trick is to take a long pole or 2x4 and run it through your stirrups when your saddle is in the rack. This will teach the fenders and leathers that they should twist so your stirrups hang straight. You might need to oil the inside of the fender and the straps for the fender so it is more supple. If you remember to put the wood into the stirrups every time you put the saddle on the rack, it will help the fenders bend correctly. (I used this trick a long time ago with my western saddle.)<br /><br /> If that doesn't work, I know they sell swivels that hook to the bottom of the fender and the top of the stirrup so the fender hangs straight and the stirrup twists. Endurance riders use them. You might try those.Crickethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00834640625999522559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8639697700009231176.post-13999036942765219902013-10-06T18:38:43.437-07:002013-10-06T18:38:43.437-07:00Hope you feel better soon!
