Cattle Auctioneer, My post was definitely not meant for you. Welcome to the forum. We generally try to keep it civil here as opposed to other threads on other forums,but this got out of hand a little. Seems someone new got here and felt he needed to do some name calling.

I am presently trying to modify my STI Breakaway Stirrups by adding wedge on the tread at 15 degrees.

I put a rubber pad on top of the wedge,imbedded into the wood,which is maple.
I attached them with duct tape to see if it would work and took a short loop around the pasture today,the snow was fairly deep,but it felt pretty good.I might just glue the wedges in for awhile.

If God wanted you to walk and carry things on your back, He would not have invented stirrups and pack saddles
