Guide to selecting the right size of stirrup leathers:
1 The choice of size depends on the rider's preference.
Some riders prefer shorter sleds, which allow more stability in the saddle, especially when jumping, while others prefer longer ones, which works well for recreational riding or dressage, for example. Therefore, the height ranges provided are indicative only.
2. leg length matters.
Height is not always a sufficient criterion for selecting sleds, since people of the same height may have different leg lengths. If you have long legs for your height, you may need a larger size, or if you have shorter legs, a smaller size.
3. How to measure length?
We recommend that you check the length of your current stirrup leathers by measuring them in the setting that is most comfortable for you. Then match the result to the adjustment range available in the table.
4. Universal tips:
It is best to choose stirrup leathers that match your height in the middle position. This way, you can always adjust their length to suit your specific type of riding (dressage or jumping).
5 Example choice:
If you are 170 cm tall, the standard choice would be the 145 cm long sleds set in the middle of the adjustment.
Remember that if the size is not right, you can always exchange or return the product.
The Classic and Pro harnesses differ primarily in the texture of the material from which they are made. The Classic model is made of smooth leather, which gives it an elegant look and ensures sturdiness. This smooth leather, while durable, can be less flexible. The Pro sleds, on the other hand, are made of lined leather, which significantly increases their softness and flexibility. The extra layer of padding makes these reins better cushion the pressure on the rider's foot, resulting in greater comfort while riding. Thanks to the use of lined leather, the Pro model offers better abrasion protection and greater comfort, making it more suitable for intensive use.
The reins in the pony size are 2.6 m and the Full size is 3 m.
All of our stirrup leathers are made of natural, high-quality buffalo leather, which gives them exceptional durability and aesthetics. Buffalo leather is known for its resistance to damage and elasticity, making it an ideal material for the production of equestrian equipment.
However, stirrup leathers differ in the way the leather is processed, which affects their functional properties.
Before using stirrup leathers for the first time, it is important to prepare them properly, which will help increase their durability and comfort of use. Here are the steps to follow:
- Cleaning: Before you start maintenance, make sure the stirrup leathers are clean. To do this, wipe them with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid excessive wetting of the leather so as not to weaken its structure.
- Oiling: After thoroughly cleaning the stirrup leathers, they should be oiled with a special leather care product. This is an important step because new leather is not yet elastic and requires additional moisture. Use an oil or balm designed for leather, avoiding edible oils, which can go rancid and destroy the material from the inside.
- Absorption: After applying the product, leave the stirrup leathers for a moment to allow the product to penetrate the skin. Then remove excess product with a clean cloth.
- Drying: Stirrup leathers should be dried at room temperature, away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Improper drying can lead to cracking and damage to the material.
- Regular maintenance: Remember that after first use and during regular use of your stirrup leathers, regular cleaning and maintenance is recommended to keep the leather in good condition.
With these steps, you can ensure that your stirrup leathers last for a long time and are comfortable to ride in. Regular care will also help protect the leather from sweat and moisture, which is especially important when riding equipment is used intensively.
