FAQ
What do stirrup protectors actually do?
They sit between the stirrup iron and the saddle so the metal cannot rub, scratch or leave dirt marks on the leather when the irons are run up or the saddle is stored.
Do you get one or two?
This listing is for a pair, so you get one protector for each stirrup iron.
Can I ride with them fitted?
No. They are intended for use when the irons are run up, in storage or in transit. Remove both before mounting.
Will they fit my stirrup irons?
They are designed to suit standard adult stirrup irons. If you use unusually wide, jointed or safety-style irons, measure the tread width and the iron branches before ordering.
Are stirrups or a saddle included?
No. The protectors are supplied on their own - irons, leathers and saddle are not included.
How do I clean them?
Wipe clean after use and allow to dry naturally away from radiators or direct heat. Replace them if they become worn or damaged.
