This message is from: "Bert Van Loon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Karen, I appreciate the info on twisted stirrups. I spoke with the saddle makers son today and it appears that they will be happy to comply with my wishes.. So what do I want ? ( smile ) . I used to do some ranch work and rode a couple of reining horses for awhile but I had never seen the twisted stirrup until I went to Big Horn the other day to look at the used saddle that I had originally gone back to see.Your right about the pain factor regarding western Saddles! All those hours in the saddle with excruciating knee and ankle pain although there is that unmentionable problem with a deep seated Dressage Saddle that is , shall we say ladies, a tad high in the front.
You asked what the ETA was and I don't know what you meant. If it is the price I don't know yet but might have to start doing a better job soaping my leather harness and put off my new Zilco for a bit. Except for this saddle plus accoutrements I am getting out of leather. All that work has gotta go. Carolyn Van Loon
