I think my muscle memory automatically reverts to my jumper days. I keep my feet straight under me and in a run I feel like I am getting them behind me. What brands hang the stirrups forward and help keep your feet out front?

I know the Martha Josey Ultimates and other similar styles have the forward hung stirrups. I ride in a Debra Sibley and you can adjust them to be more forward (double adjustment option) but others who have ridden in my saddle tell me I must have a steady leg because they have a lot of swing.

I have an Ammerman that I just bought that has stirrups made hobbled forward. I haven't made a fast run in it, but like where it positions me. I rode in a Meleta Brown and have one on order that was AMAZINGLY comfortable, but the one I borrowed was a tad big, it still felt really nice. Just sits you where you want to be.

I run in a nosey ultimate flex tree and it keeps my feet where they are supposed to be. I have a Larry Coats on order and my biggest fear is my stirrups will get behind me..
