Each horse and rider are different. Four years ago, I ordered my endurance SS with the stirrups set back 2". Too far, as it turns out -- it pitched me forward. I finally swapped my girth and stirrup rigging and find that works better for me. I understand that the endurance model now comes standard with the stirrups set farther back than their other models.
