FAQs
Are these stirrup leathers suitable for all English saddles?
Yes, they are designed to be compatible with most standard English-style stirrup bars.
Will these leathers stretch over time?
The Mackey Equisential leathers are specifically designed with non-stretch webbing to prevent the length changes common with traditional leather straps.
How do I clean them?
Wipe the webbing with a soft, damp cloth after each ride to remove debris and moisture.
Can I use these for competition?
Yes, their sleek black design and reliable performance make them suitable for both schooling and competitive use.
What is the width of the leathers?
These leathers feature a 1-inch width, which is the standard size for most stirrup bars.
Does the buckle hardware rust?
The leathers feature stainless steel buckles, which are highly resistant to rust and corrosion.
Troubleshooting
Buckle is difficult to adjust
Ensure the webbing is free from dirt buildup; if stiff, wipe with a damp cloth and allow to dry before readjusting.
Webbing feels too stiff
Flex the material by hand a few times to loosen the fibers; the non-stretch webbing will naturally soften with use without losing its shape.
Buckle tongue is loose
Check if the pin has been bent from pressure; if it is not securing properly, the buckle should be inspected by a professional saddler for replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, slide the stirrup bar of your saddle through the looped end of the leathers. Ensure the stainless steel buckle is positioned near the stirrup bar rather than under your calf to prevent discomfort and reduce bulk under your leg. When cleaning, simply wipe down the webbing with a damp cloth to remove sweat, dirt, or dust. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can degrade the synthetic fibers over time. Regularly inspect the stitching and the buckle tongue for signs of wear to ensure the equipment remains safe for use.
