I'm new to riding. How do I figure out the correct length to make my stirrups?

Check the stirrups visually to make sure they are the same length. Position the saddle correctly. Your thigh angle should be parallel to the horse's shoulder angle. One way to measure is to put your fingertips on the stirrup bar and pull the rest up to your armpit. If you are unsure, ask an instructor to check if the stirrup length is correct.
