Dressage leathers

[Nic]

Anyone else use them?

If so how do you stop the buckle from scratching your boots?

 

[piaffe]

Ive got them. Never had a problem with them scratching my boots though.

my new wow leathers are dressage style leathers, and they have a t-bar that goes through them and a guard on top of that, so nothing scratches, i think several; brands of dressage leathers are designed in this way

Ah mine don't have the T bar.

They are the same as these:

& the pin scratches my boots. It was fine when it was my old ones but just got MH SCS3's from Santa

 

[Nic]

Piaffe are yours the same as mine or do they have a T bar fastening?

 

[Malibu]

what is the difference from "Normal leather"?

 

[Nic]

They attach to the saddle via a leather loop & adjust lower down so there is no buckle under your thigh.

Much comfier

hmmmmmmm i might invest in some!!

 

[Malibu]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

OH bought me some for Xmas (slighlty different Kieffer ones) and didn't appear to scratch my boot but WOW - PG definitely invest in some!

I've never managed sitting trot so well with less bulk under my leg and no loose stirrup leather end riding up!

 

[Tempi]

what make are yours? ive had a look and cant decide which ones to invest in!

 

[Ferdinase514]

Trixie! Never seen these before.... want some

 

[miller]

Mine are Kieffer - OH got them from Sheepgate just before xmas

 

[piaffe]

Mine are the exact ones you have. I lvoe them. the only thing i dont like is not being able to run them up and i refuse to fold them over the saddle for fear of creasing the leather.

I have Wintec webbers and I think they're really good, I can run them up too which makes it much neater. They are like the wow ones by the sound of it, with the T bar and the guard. You can also get Bates leather ones if you want to look posh!

I've been lent some Bates Webbers which have the T-bar. Name is deceptive as they are made of leather but have webbing down the inside to make them stronger and stop them stretching. I've had them a couple of weeks and I'm really pleased with them. Was given some Jeffries Dressage Leathers for Christmas but have decided not to keep them as I thought that the buckle arrangement might flap.
