I like it, wish I could pluck up the courage to have a go a basketweave. Can you tell me what that piece of wood screwed to the stirrup tread is and can anyone tell me if there is a standard way the small strap above the stirrup should finish (pointing in to the horse or out to the bush)?

The small piece of wood is called a heel block and it helps keep you from blowin a peddle in a storm. I have always been told that the tail of you stirrup hobble goes twords the horse.

by the way i would like to thank everyone for the feedback!

Thats what I've been told too, so thats exactly what I do. It looks neat and clean, nothing sticking out.
