Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do these leathers improve my leg position and contact?
A: By eliminating the traditional bulky fold at the buckle with a slim metal plate, these leathers remove the "lump" under your thigh. This allows your leg to hang flatter against the horse, facilitating more precise aids, a more stable seat, and a sensitive connection that is often lost with thicker leathers.

Q: Which size is right for my height and discipline?
A: The 54" (137cm) is the universal choice for average-height adults in jumping or general-purpose saddles. Choose the 61" (155cm) if you are tall or riding in a dressage saddle requiring a longer leg, while the 48" (122cm) is specifically sized for children, pony riders, or very petite adults.
