Are my stirrups where I need them?

I apologize for the pictures. I had my brother take them and he is terrified of horses, so he had no idea what he was doing. I have been riding this way for awhile. And I feel pretty comfortable, but it seems when I loose my stirrup alot. My leg is shorter on one side due to a hip misalignment though, and it's always my right leg (the shorter one) so I think that is what causes me to loose my stirrup. I bought stirrup turners that dropped the stirrups down, just a smidge, and it's not uncomfortable, but I don't like it... I posted pictures with and without the turners. What do you think?

Without being on a horse it's going to be very hard to get an accurate reading on stirrup length as the girth of the horse/ bend of the tree on the saddle stand might distort what the pictures show. However in some of your pictures (the last three) they look a tad too long.

Honestly, in my experience with this (which was literally the last few days), just change them repeatedly until they feel right and you stop losing a stirrup. I was doing the same thing because I had my stirrups longer, which is where I liked them when walking around, but any faster and my feet went all over. Jacked them up today and I'm all good (very sore knees though.. ouch.)

Well, that's how I've had them. They are quite comfy that way to me. Have it up all the way on the right side. I think it may not help that I carry my saddle with me everywhere, and that right side doesnt want to stay turned out. I put the stirrup turner on to help with that, but they made me feel like they were too long.

The stirrup turner does drop them , so you need to raise them one notch to compensate.

I think that it would be best to take them up a hole, they look a little long. But as said above - it's hard to tell without you being on a horse.

By the way, sitting on a saddle when it's not on a horse can be damaging for it. Just thought I'd mention it for future references (-:

I didnt know that! THANKS! I will keep my butt off!!! And I will move my stirrups up again! No one ever helps me with this kind of stuff, so I do it on the stand myself. I will have to get someone to start helping now, lol...

Not for the five minutes to take a photo. And honestly if it's a good quality saddle - it will be perfectly fine.

Stirrup length depends on the barrel of the horse and the type of footwear you have on and the type of riding. A casual trail ride - longer, working cattle or running barrels - shorter.

I don't have any pics of me on my horse... lol... I looked... Not even one with a bad angle. I have a few where they were first broken with my junk saddle.

I would definitely shorten them a little. You need to keep your heels down and I am not sure you can do that easily at that length!
