Description
Waldhausen X-Line Leather Stirrup Loops
The Waldhausen X-Line Leather Stirrup Loops are stirrup leathers for looping, made from smooth, soft leather with a nylon core. They are best for riders who want less bulk under the thigh, because only one strap lies between the rider's leg and the saddle flap.
Stirrup length adjusts easily and quickly, making them a practical everyday option for schooling, hacking and jumping. Stirrup irons are not included, so you can keep riding in the irons you already use. Browse more saddle accessories to complete your tack.

FAQ
Are stirrups included with these loops?
No. The Waldhausen X-Line Leather Stirrup Loops are supplied without stirrup irons, so you can use your existing irons.
What are they made from?
Smooth, soft leather with a nylon core running through the strap.
Why choose looping stirrup leathers?
With a looping design only one strap lies between the rider's leg and the saddle flap, which reduces bulk under the thigh and gives a closer feel to the saddle.
Is the stirrup length easy to change?
Yes. Adjustment of the stirrup length is designed to be easy and quick, which helps if you change length between flatwork, jumping and hacking or share a saddle.
How do I care for the leather?
Wipe with a damp cloth, dry naturally away from direct heat and treat with a suitable leather conditioner to keep the leather supple.
Will they fit my saddle?
They are intended for saddles that take looped stirrup leathers. Check your saddle's stirrup bars before ordering if you are unsure.
