dressage leathers

[piaffe]

Has anyone got them? I have some and i really like them BUT, obviously, you cannot run them up like standard leathers. if you have them, what do you do with them? I did cross them over the saddle but i dont want to damage saddle so now, either leave them hanging or take them off.

Cross them over the saddle after I've put an old towel over the seat to stop the marking it.

dangling on dressage, cross over on gp (yes have them on gp as less bulky

)

The dressage leathers I have with my WOW saddle have a slot at the top of the leather (below the loop which goes onto the stirrup bar) which you put the little T-bar thing through to half the length of the leather. Am I making sense?

So, to try to describe it better, I run the iron up as far as it goes which is above the slot at the top of the leather, put to T-bar thing through the slot and then the loop of leather through the stirrup. It then looks like a normal run up stirrup.

Much safer than crossing them over the saddle as I found out as I was uncrossing them one day before getting on and I kinda pulled the offside iron over with the nearside one and it hit me on the nose. Ouch!
