How to Use
- Thread the leather up through the stirrup iron eye so the buckle end runs on the outside.
- Pass the strap end through the stirrup bar on the saddle and buckle it, matching the same numbered hole on both sides.
- Pull the buckle up close to the stirrup bar and tuck the loose end into the keeper.
- Check the stirrup bar catch is in the open position before mounting.
- Adjust in the saddle by counting holes, keeping both sides on the same number.
- Inspect the leather, holes and stitching before every ride and replace any leather showing cracks or worn stitching.
FAQ
What length stirrup leathers do I need?
As a guide, 36" suits children and smaller saddles, 48" suits shorter adult legs, 54" suits average adult leg lengths and 60" suits longer legs or a longer position. Measure an existing pair from the top of the buckle to the end of the strap if you are unsure.
What is the difference between the 3/4" and 1" widths?
The 36" leathers are 3/4" wide, which suits junior saddles and smaller stirrup irons. The 48", 54" and 60" leathers are 1" wide, the standard width for adult general purpose and jumping saddles.
Why do the holes have numbers?
Numbered holes let you see at a glance that your left and right leathers are set to the same length, which helps you sit evenly without dismounting to check.
Are these sold as a pair?
Yes, Mackey Classic Stirrup Leathers are supplied as a pair.
Will the leathers stretch?
Leather stretches a little with use. Check both sides during the first few weeks, and swap them left to right occasionally so they wear evenly.
How should I care for them?
Wipe off sweat and mud with a damp cloth, use saddle soap, then condition with a leather balm and dry naturally away from direct heat.
