Stirrup leathers

[HorseMad91]

This is probably a silly question but for the life of me I can't remember how you work out what length stirrups leathers you need.
I bought some for my 6 year old daughter that where suppose to be tiny tot leathers but she's needs two twists in them, so need some the right length this time. Thanks

When she is in the saddle, measure from the stirrup bar to the top of the stirrup iron then multiply by 2.5 . Take the stirrups and measurements to a saddler and ask him to shorten them. Or keep the longer ones for her to grow into and buy some new short ones.

I found that the smaller ones cost more than the normal. I took adult simple leather ones and a hole punch, we made our own and cut off the extra. They look great.

My daughter is 6 in June.
