Bates
Leather Webbers 32 inch
English Saddle Fittings/Pads
Manufacturer: Bates
Model: Leather Webbers 32 inch
Category: English Saddle Fittings/Pads
Purchase: I bought these stirrup leathers from one of my local tack shops for ~$80. My old leathers were stretching way too much.
Likes: Thus far I like them a lot. I was afraid I would not have a "perfect" fit with these leathers, but so far I haven't had any problems with the proper length for my various boots (my old leathers I needed two different holes with different boots). I also like having a closer feel to the horse's barrel. They do not have any bulkiness under my thigh as did the old leathers.
Dislikes: I was afraid the 32 inch leathers would be too short for my leg (I'm 6 feet tall), but I have plenty of adjustability with these. Otherwise I haven't found anything to dislike about them.
Quality: The leather is stitched tightly and hasn't shown any wear after a few months use. The black dye hasn't worn any either.
Summary: My trainer has asked my opinion on these stirrup leathers, and now she wants to get some for herself. She has seen improvements in my feel with my horse, and that was all it took to convince her to buy these also, but in the shorter length.
