A fender shaper system for equestrian use, that can be easily added to a new or used saddle system, shapes the fenders optimally and holds the desired shape permanently, thus eliminating the conventional need to soak the fenders in water and reshape them repeatedly due to their inherent tendency to revert back toward the original flat shape unless kept stored in a special holder. The fender shaper system permanently ensures the correct free-hanging stirrup orientation that makes mounting easier and safer by avoiding any need to reach down and turn the stirrup manually, and also ensures riding comfort free of leg stress and fatigue from having to continuously counteract a tendency of the stirrups to hang at an incorrect orientation. The fender shaper is formed from sheet stainless steel bent into the shape of a right angle bracket with curvature. In a primary embodiment for leather fenders, the fender can be fastened to the fender shaper with a pair of ornamental screw fasteners and a retaining tab. The stirrup strap is retained against the front of the fender shaper by a retaining strap for correct free-hanging stirrup orientation. A secondary embodiment for fenders of the woven fabric type can be attached with self adhesive disengagable fastening material such as Velcro.
