Which Premier Equine stirrup leathers should I choose?

What length stirrup leathers do I need?
Stirrup leather length is measured along the strap, not by your leg length, and the lengths here run from 47/48 inch (120cm) up to 58 inch (145cm).
A rough guide
- 48 inch / 120cm - shorter riders, ponies, or anyone who rides at a jumping length.
- 54 inch / 135cm - the middle length most adult riders end up in for general riding and schooling.
- 58 inch / 145cm - taller riders, longer legs, and dressage lengths where the leg is stretched down.
If you are between lengths, the longer option usually gives you more room to adjust as the leather beds in and the holes settle. If you are still unsure, get in touch and our team will help.
How do I measure the leathers I already have?
Lay your current pair flat, fully unbuckled, and measure from the top fold at the buckle down to the end of the strap. Compare that figure with the lengths above. It is also worth checking how far down the holes you normally ride - if you are already near the last hole, size up.
Leathers, stirrups or both?
Leathers and stirrups are sold separately, so a lot of riders replace one without the other. Buy new leathers when the holes have stretched into ovals, the strap has thinned near the buckle, or the two sides no longer sit level. Buy new stirrups when you want a different tread width, a lighter iron, or a safety release design.
What stirrup size do I need?
Stirrup size is the internal width of the iron, measured across the tread. As a rule of thumb, leave roughly 1.5cm of clearance on either side of your riding boot - too narrow and the boot can jam, too wide and the foot can slide right through. The stirrups in this collection run from 4.25 inch / 11cm up to 4.75 inch / 12cm, which covers most adult riders.
How do I look after leather stirrup leathers?
New leathers stretch during the first few weeks of use, so check them regularly at first and swap them left to right every so often to even out the wear. Wipe off sweat and mud after riding, let them dry naturally away from direct heat, and condition them now and then so the leather stays supple rather than drying out and cracking. Check the area around the buckle and the holes every time you tack up - that is where wear shows first.
Premier Equine stirrup leathers: your questions answered
How much are Premier Equine stirrup leathers?
In this collection, the Premier Equine Traditional Stirrup Leathers are £48.00, the German Aniline Stirrup Leathers are £72.00 and the European Aniline Stirrup Leathers are £100.00. Prices are the same across every length and colour in each range.
What length stirrup leathers should I buy?
Lengths here run 47/48 inch (120cm), 54 inch (135cm) and 58 inch (145cm). Most adult riders suit 54 inch / 135cm for general riding, shorter riders and jumping lengths tend towards 120cm, and taller or dressage riders towards 145cm. Measure your existing pair flat from the top fold at the buckle to the end of the strap, and size up if you already ride near the last hole.
What is the difference between the Traditional and Aniline leathers?
The Traditional Stirrup Leathers at £48.00 are the everyday option and come in Black or Dark Havana. The Aniline versions use a softer, more supple leather finish: German Aniline at £72.00 in Brown or Black, and European Aniline at £100.00 in Black or Dark Havana. All three fit the same way - the difference is feel under the leg and finish.
Do stirrup leathers come with stirrups included?
No - leathers and stirrups are sold separately. If you need both, this collection also stocks Premier Equine Stainless Steel Flexi Stirrups from £61.20, Jopollo Aluminium Performance Stirrups at £63.00 and Intego Duo Safety Stirrups at £198.00.
How often should stirrup leathers be replaced?
There is no fixed interval - it depends on how much you ride and how well the leather is cared for. Replace them when the holes have stretched into ovals, the strap has thinned or cracked near the buckle, the stitching is going, or the two sides no longer hang level. Check the buckle area every time you tack up, and swap the pair left to right occasionally to spread the wear.
What size stirrups do I need?
Measure the widest part of your riding boot and allow roughly 1.5cm of clearance either side inside the stirrup. The stirrups in this collection run from 4.25 inch / 11cm to 4.75 inch / 12cm, with 4.75 inch / 12cm the most common adult size.
