FAQs
How do I choose the right size?
Stirrup leather length is a personal preference based on rider leg length and saddle type; 125cm to 160cm options are available to accommodate different rider builds.
Can I use these for jumping?
Yes, the robust construction and anti-stretch core make them suitable for all equestrian disciplines, including jumping.
Does the anti-stretch core affect flexibility?
The core is designed to provide strength without sacrificing the necessary flexibility required to loop through the stirrup bar and buckle securely.
How often should I clean the leathers?
For best longevity, wipe away dirt and sweat after every ride and condition the leather every few weeks depending on usage.
Are the buckles rust-proof?
The buckles are made from stainless steel, which is highly resistant to rust and corrosion, though they should be wiped dry after exposure to wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Buckle is difficult to adjust
Ensure the leather is clean and lightly oiled or conditioned, as stiff leather can make the roller mechanism difficult to move.
Excessive stiffness out of the package
Apply a leather softening balm or conditioner and work the leather gently by hand to break in the material.
Pros and Cons

- High-quality leather construction
Cons
- Requires regular leather care and cleaning

- Bonded leather requires specific care compared to full-grain
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up, thread the stirrup leather through the stirrup bar of your saddle, ensuring the buckle is positioned near the stirrup iron to reduce bulk under the rider's thigh. Before first use, it is recommended to condition the leather to soften the material.
For care, wipe the leathers down with a damp cloth after each ride to remove sweat or dirt. Apply a high-quality leather conditioner periodically to keep the bonded material supple and prevent cracking. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out.
