I got a call from John at Alleghany and and email. The saddle didn't come arrive to them in the color that I had ordered. It is a lighter color. John is taking $100 off and throwing in a saddle pad. That works for me. It is the color of my Billy Cook which may work just fine as I do have a breast strap that matched my Billy Cook!!
My concern was the stirrups. I wanted them like the picture. John said that is something a customer modified and sent in a picture. I told him that I told Stacy that my knee can not take any type of torque at all. He said that I could turn the stirrups over a few days. I then said what I had told Stacy...I rode in an Aussie for that reason - can't take ANY torque. I asked for picture of the saddle without the bubble wrap on the stirrups and they looked like a saddle I would have trouble riding in. John is going to drop ship hardware that makes the stirrups fully turned. We shall see. Here are pictures of the saddle. I do like the color just fine. I am not that bothered by color as to me, almost any leather color is pretty!
Here are the stirrup turner he is ordering for me:

I do like that the little hoof pick pocket has my initials on it!!! Woot!!! It says "D. T." If I had known they were doing that I would have asked for the "G" to make it DGT!!!
