yes, there are several ways to attach the stirrups on the sensation. i was previously using "free swing" because with my short legs and my short students, the sensation dressage flap we had was too long for the other ways to be comfortable, especially in half-seat or over fences. i have since trialed (and just got, though i haven't tried it yet!) a different-model sensation with shorter flaps, which allows me to use a different way of stirrup attachment (i think "hard use") that spreads the riders weight through the saddle more. (kaaren please correct if any of the above is inaccurate/inadequate?) --vicka
