FAQs
Are these stirrup leathers sold individually or as a pair?
These leathers are sold in a pair, ensuring you have matching equipment for both sides of your saddle.
What is the total length of the leathers?
The leathers measure 142cm, which is approximately 56 inches.
Can I use these for children?
These 142cm leathers are typically for adults. For children, we recommend the specific Hy Children's Stirrup Leathers which are 48 inches in length.
Will the stainless steel buckles rust?
The buckles are made from stainless steel, which is highly resistant to rust and corrosion, even when exposed to moisture.
How often should I clean the leathers?
It is best to wipe them down after every ride and perform a deep conditioning treatment once a month or as needed.
Do these leathers stretch over time?
While all leather has a natural tendency to stretch slightly with use, the pre-stitched design of these leathers is specifically intended to minimize excessive stretching.
Troubleshooting
Stirrup leather feels stiff
Apply a leather conditioner or oil to soften the fibers and improve flexibility.
Buckle is difficult to adjust
Ensure no dirt or debris is lodged in the buckle mechanism and check that the leather is not being pinched.
Leather showing signs of surface wear
Clean with a damp cloth and apply a dedicated leather dressing to restore the finish and protect the grain.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, slide the end of the leather without the buckle through the stirrup bar of your saddle, then loop it through your stirrup iron before threading it through the buckle. Ensure the buckle is positioned at the top near the stirrup bar to avoid interference with your leg. These leathers are compatible with most standard English-style saddles. To maintain the leather, wipe clean after every ride to remove sweat and dirt. Periodically treat with a high-quality leather conditioner to prevent drying and cracking, especially if used in wet weather conditions.
