Stirrup leathers advice on length

[luckyhorseshoe]

Probably a numpty question but need to order some new stirrup leathers (want to do it online) and i cant work out what length i need, i'm only 5ft1ish so anyone any ideas what length i would need?

The ones that came with new pony are huge so no way i can punch more holes!

Thanks!

you cud measure underarm length (as in the thign you do to see if stirrups are roughly corect length) then take away a stirrup irons lenght , then times that by 3 ish , then i think taht would be roughly the length of the stirrups if you were to have them near the top holes , so you could go down a length.

Im sure there is a much much easier way tho !

I'm 5'3 and I have kids 48" leathers. I'm nearish to the top for jumping and in the middle for flatwork, so they should be ok length for you.
