| Daughter won a trophy saddle. The stirrups have been shortened all they possibly can. Her legs, are just a shade too short still. I don't want to block up the stirrup, it's a roping saddle, and the stirrups are deep. I'd rather buy a new stirrup. The stirrup is 6.5 inches from where the sole of the shoe would sit to the center of the cross member, that actually hooks to the stirrup leather and fenders. The stirrup leathers are 3 inches wide. I need a stirrup that is shallow top to bottom, and will accommodate a 3 inch wide stirrup leather/fender. I hope all of that was clear. Long story short, I have searched the net high and low. Some look shallow, but no dimensions are given. I also don't want to spend a fortune, because in due time she will grow enough to fit the other stirrup. | |

| If you can find any, you could always vetwrap some foam on the bottom of the current ones to time up some depth until she grows into them. | |

These are the standard youth/junior stirrups I see a lot http://www.chicksaddlery.com/page/CDS/PROD/1087/EA9655---SIL

| Chick wasn't sure of the depth of that spur. That type is the route I should go though. | |
