What size of English leathers should I buy?

Question

I just bought a new english saddle that didn't come with leathers or irons. I am 62" tall and I need to know what lenght I need to buy. Also if anyone knows where I can buy matching leathers for a Maycraft saddle please tell me! Thanks

Answer 1

For a Jumping saddle, 54" leathers should work for you.

At smartpak equine they have m.tolouse leathers for jumping and dressage saddles for around $80. they're really nice and nylon lined and come in 3 colors for jumping saddles. I have the dressage ones and they are nicer than bates leathers and 20 bucks cheaper.

Answer 2

The average jumping saddle leathers are 54'' Those would be fine.. You could also get the children size... With either one you go with I would have a leather punch around so you can have just the right fit.

Answer 3

Most standard stuirrup leathers are 54" which would be fine for you. However,some people prefer to buy child's leathers so they don't have as much "leftover" leather.

Answer 4

54 inch is a good standard length - should leave enough over so that you can put the tail end in the keeper on your saddle instead of it flopping about and being annoying.
