LeMieux Leather Garter Straps for Young Riders
LeMieux Leather Garter Straps are a pair of children's leather garters worn just below the knee to hold jodhpurs and breeches in place. They are best for young riders competing in showing classes, or anyone who wants a neat, traditional turnout without fabric twisting or bunching up the leg.
A hook and loop closure gives up to 2 inches of adjustability, so the fit can be set precisely and changed as a child grows. Two sizes are available, XS/S and M/L, covering inner circumferences from 7 inches to 13 inches. Browse more LeMieux essentials for the yard and the ring.

FAQ
What are garter straps used for?
Garter straps are worn below the knee to hold jodhpurs or breeches in position, preventing the fabric from twisting or bunching up the leg. They also give a tidy, traditional look in showing classes.
Which size should I choose, XS/S or M/L?
Measure around the leg just below the knee over the breeches. XS/S fits an inner circumference of 7" (17.8 cm) to 10" (25.4 cm) and M/L fits 10" (25.4 cm) to 13" (33 cm). If your measurement is around 10", M/L gives more growing room.
How much adjustment do they offer?
The hook and loop closure gives up to 2 inches of adjustability within each size range, so the fit can be fine-tuned over thin or thicker breeches.
What are they made from?
They are made from leather, with a hook and loop fastening.
How do I care for leather garter straps?
Wipe them clean after use and apply a suitable leather conditioner from time to time. Fasten the hook and loop closure before storing so it does not catch on breeches or socks.
Are they sold as a pair?
Yes, garter straps are supplied as a pair, one for each leg.
