Stirrup leathers

[Mari]

Looking for recommendations. Non stretch stirrup leathers for pony saddle, preferably that aren’t too thick & chunky, that have close spaced holes & that are leather.

I have Passier leathers as a cheaper alternative to Amerigo. They are soft with nylon core and half holes.

not very specific so apologies to that, but i had a feel of some shires ones the other day and were surprised by how soft and nice they felt! not chunky/too thick either

I had Albion ones and they aren’t bulky

My Decathlon pair have been surprisingly good. I've had them a good few years with no stretching and holes close together.

I also have fouganza ones same as @MuddyMonster , really good

Thank you. I have some Shires ones & they are too chunky for my pony saddle & rider.

We use the Ascot Dever youth ones for my 9yr old, they are slightly thinner width and a good price!

Mine are indeed Amerigo. Before that I had similar anonymous soft Italian leathers from the saddler, but I lost one of them. I have hacked in mine once or twice a week for years. almost 16 years now. I take them with me to the yard and put them on the saddle left or right at random, so both leathers remain equal, although hole 14 is stretched because that is the hole I use. When I am not riding they hang down from a hook behind the cellar door, so they hang straight and are treated with leather Balsom, so stay soft.
