Product Information
Full details
The Mackey Equisential Stirrup Leathers are designed for equestrians seeking a reliable, low-maintenance connection between their saddle and stirrups. These leathers are ideal for riders who prioritize durability and consistent length, as the non-stretch webbing prevents the common issue of leathers elongating over time. While they offer exceptional strength and a comfortable hybrid material blend, riders who prefer the traditional feel of pure, high-grade leather may find the synthetic-leather hybrid construction requires a brief break-in period to reach optimal flexibility.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these leathers suitable for jumping?
Yes, the non-stretch design is excellent for jumping as it maintains consistent stirrup length during technical maneuvers.
Can I use these on any saddle?
They are designed for standard English stirrup bars. Ensure your stirrup bar opening is at least 1 inch wide.
How do I clean the synthetic components?
A damp cloth is usually sufficient, though a mild soap can be used for deep cleaning without harming the integrity of the materials.
Will these leathers crack like traditional leather?
The hybrid construction is specifically designed to resist the cracking and drying out commonly associated with traditional leather.
Does the 54-inch size refer to the total length?
Yes, the measurement indicates the total length of the leather strap before it is doubled over and buckled.
Troubleshooting
Buckle is difficult to adjust
Ensure the leather keeper is not obstructed and the buckle holes are free of debris; use a small amount of leather conditioner to soften the immediate area if new.
Leathers feel stiff out of the packaging
This is common with new hybrid materials. Allow the leathers to hang vertically for 24 hours or ride with them for several sessions to allow the synthetic core to conform to your saddle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install your Mackey Equisential Stirrup Leathers, slide the end without the buckle through the stirrup bar of your saddle, then loop it through your stirrup iron and secure the buckle at your desired length. Ensure the buckle is tucked cleanly into the leather keeper to prevent pinching or interference with your leg.
These leathers are highly compatible with most English-style stirrup bars. To maintain their condition, wipe them down with a damp cloth after each ride to remove dust and sweat. If exposed to heavy rain or mud, gently clean the synthetic and leather surfaces with a mild saddle soap and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to preserve the structural integrity of the webbing.
