FAQs

Are these stirrup leathers suitable for all saddle types?

Yes, they are designed for standard stirrup bars found on most English-style saddles.

How often should I condition the leathers?

Depending on usage, a light conditioning every 2-4 weeks is recommended to maintain flexibility and strength.

Will these leathers stretch over time?

While all leather has a natural limit, these are constructed to be heavy-duty and highly resistant to the stretching common in lower-quality products.

Can I use these for jumping?

Yes, their heavy-duty construction is specifically suited for the stress and pressure of jumping and eventing.

What is the best way to store them?

Store them hanging straight or neatly coiled in a clean, dry tack room environment away from direct heat.

Troubleshooting

Leathers feel stiff when new

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner and work the leather with your hands to soften the fibers before the first use.

Buckle is difficult to adjust

Ensure the holes are clear of debris and check that the leather hasn't swollen from moisture; if stiff, apply a light coat of leather oil.

Material shows signs of cracking

This is often due to dehydration; clean thoroughly and apply a deeper conditioning treatment, then store away from extreme heat sources.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High durability for long-term daily use
  • Resistant to excessive stretching
  • Flexible enough for quick and easy length adjustments
  • Provides a stable and secure feel during transitions

Cons

  • Requires consistent cleaning to maintain material health
  • Initial stiffness may require a short 'break-in' period
  • Specific maintenance oils must be chosen carefully to avoid softening too much

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your Mackey Equisential Stirrup Leathers, thread the leather through the stirrup bar of your saddle, ensuring it lies flat against the saddle flap. Always check that the buckle is positioned properly to avoid rubbing against your leg or damaging the saddle leather. For maintenance, wipe the leathers down with a soft, damp cloth after every ride to remove sweat and dirt. Periodically apply a high-quality leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent it from drying out or cracking. Ensure you store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
