Fender Attachments: <click

All Fender attachments are set and molded so the stirrups stay turned.
Inside:
Stirrup leathers wrap around inside against fender. This prevents
stirrup leathers from hanging. This is the standard option.
Outside:
Stirrup leather hangs on the outside. Some say this gives better flexibility
to the stirrup but is most commonly used by people who are adjusting
their stirrups for many different riders.
Texas Twist: This is a method of physically twisting the leather to
turn the stirrup. It creates additional bulk down by the ankle and
the stirrup leather hangs down on the outside . $50.00

Smooth:
A good choice for riding long hours without a chafing problem.
Roughout:
Most commonly used when extreme maneuvers are being used with the
job needing greater grip. However, roughout leather will smooth out
over time and it will be necessary to sand the roughout with sandpaper.
Skirt: <click

The function of the skirt is to help protect the horse from the stirrup
leathers. The skirt does not bear weight.
Round:
This shape has the least amount of leather and makes the saddle a
little easier to handle.
Curved:
This has the same depth as the square skirt but the rounded corners
give a different look.
Square:
The largest of skirts; protects horse from large saddlebags.

Seat: <click

Full
Padded - The first padded seat came into existance in order to hide
an ungly seam on cheap saddles but today we just use it to give more
cush to the tush! The entire area of the seat is padded; The male
seat is a standard padding; the female seat has an extra 1/4"
triangular seat foam in the front of the seat.
Three-Quarter
Padded - Three-quarters of the seat is padded, one-quarter has skirt
leather. Still has cush for the tush, but gives the saddle a more
"old time" look. $75.00
Full
Leather - Full Skirt Leather across entire seating area. This is the
traditional method of the seat and when the seat is properly designed
cush for the tush is not necesary. The skirt leather is used and there
is no seat padding for the full leather seat. $150.00
Cantle: <click

Cheyenne
Roll: This came about because cowboys got tired of landing on the
straight cantle. Some cowboys in Cheyenne, Wyoming came up with this
alternate wider cantle. It also gives something to grip when picking
the saddle up.
Straight:
The original way and preferred if packing a lot of supplies to enable
getting in and out of the saddle bags without the cantle being in
the way.
