It does but feels so strange.. My Eli Miller really doesn't have a cantle and is wider in the back. So I feel kind of squeezed in it. Plus it has a 5in cantle. So now I really have to throw my fat leg over it...lol Here is my Eli Miller..

Tony took the pic with his camera then sent it to my FB page. I opened it up to full size then right click on it and save it to your picture library on your lap top. Yes the endurance stirrups are very comfortable. I'm going to take the ones off my Eli Miller and put them on the new one. They are leather covered the ones that came with the new saddle are cheap tin type..

Wow, that's a hell of a high cantle! I'd have trouble getting my short legs over that!

It's a 4 inch cantle. Yes I have to remind myself to jack that fat leg over it. My Eli is low. I took JR out for a test ride in it. Other than the fenders being stiff. It felt pretty good. Of course it would have been better if JR wasn't being a shit head. He has always been a bad ride at home. On the trails he is better. I threatened him and told him I was going to send him to the meat man...jk Lint was like yea right He has been full of himself. I felt a slight bob in him but he was being so full of it I couldn't tell if he was sore in the front or not. Poor Reno will be here all by himself over the weekend. I have a friend staying at the house to keep an eye on things. If JR does come up lame I'm not that far from home that I can bring him back and get Reno. We are taking both trailers. We'll see how it goes Thursday. We will ride after we set up. Then i'll know.

I know a few people who rave over those types of stirrup irons! Very nice saddle btw I'm sure you'll put in a few miles in it for sure
