I do,I probably would sell mine.Do you mean the EZ-Up device that goes on your stirrup leathers that you can lower and raise your stirrup after mounting by raising your toe?

I never have used it,but tried to put it on my cordura type stirrup.Let me tell you that it won't work on those,I don't believe.The stirrup straps and fender aren't heavy enough and you couldn't raise it with your toe.It would have to go on a leather stirrup strap and fender,then it will work OK.When I tried to raise the stirrup with it on my cordura saddle,the entire stirrup,fender,ect.would raise up,also.BUt if it was on leather and a heavy stirrup (I had aluminum endurance-type stirrups) it would work,that's probably what it was designed for anyway.

we have them on two of our circle y saddles...have used them 2 years now... takes alot of pressure off of your legs..we leave ours in the swivel position all the time you can lock them to one certain position if you prefer... as far as the extension to help you get on it works but you have to have long legs becasue when its down you still have to get you leg up over the saddle and it is that much farther away..most people with tall legs dont need them to begin with

That's probably true for some folks.However,that wasn't the problem with mine,the problem was: I have a cordura saddle and it was not substantial weight to allow me to pull up the stirrup w/out raising the entire fender too.
It works fine on our Tucker saddles.And,I found that once I am off the ground and that far up,I can manage to get up in the saddle from there.It's from the ground up that I have the problem.(Jeans legs,short legs,ect.) I have the two stirrup clips for it,and they measure 2.2" wide,and another is 2 3/4" wide.They assured me at EZUp that they will fit a Western saddle stirrup.
