Sorry, the stirrups are too long and I can't shorten them. Not the other way around.

I don't ride Western much so maybe someone can help me. I'm ony 5' 1" tall but I'm heavy - so I need a big enough saddle to fit me. Unfortunately my legs are rather short. The saddle I have fits the horses but the stirrups are too short and I can't put them any higher because of the way the leathers (I don't know the Western term) are too wide at that point. Same is true with the kids saddle (kids are 5 1/2 and 7 1/2). The seat is fine but the stirrups are too long and can't be raised any higher. I'm going to try and trade these saddles in but would love some suggestions on what to replace them with. If anyone could help me that would be great. Vanessa N Weber
