Product Information

The BR stirrup covers are neoprene sleeves you slide over your stirrups before you run them up. They keep the metal of the stirrup away from the leather, so that your saddle picks up no scratches and no dull patches on the sweat flaps. Handy when lungeing, in transport and when putting your saddle away. Available in several colours and in 11 cm, 12 cm or XL.

About this stirrup cover

A stirrup that is run up rests against the sweat flap of your saddle. Every time you lift the saddle, set it on a rack or slide it into a saddle bag, that metal rubs across the same small piece of leather. Scratches show at once, but the problem that creeps up on you is the dull patches: the leather loses its shine there and takes on a different texture, and that does not come back with cleaning. A cover over the stirrup takes that contact away.

The cover is made of 100 per cent neoprene: a soft, springy synthetic rubber that encloses the stirrup completely without pressing hard against the leather. You slide the cover over the stirrup first and then run the stirrup up. There is nothing more to it; no hook-and-loop, no buckle, no knot. That is also why it is something you simply do in the yard while you untack, without it costing time.

You use the covers at three moments. When lungeing, when the stirrups are run up and secured and still move with your horse's trot. In transport, when the saddle lies in a car or a saddle case and every bump in the road carries through into the leather. And in storage, when the saddle stands for weeks on a rack with the stirrups run up. In the first two cases it is about rubbing; in the third about a stirrup that always presses on exactly the same spot.

The covers come in several colours: black, brown, navy, princess blue, turquoise, bright pink and florid red. Not every colour exists in every size. Black comes in 11 cm, 12 cm and XL; navy and florid red in 12 cm and XL; brown, bright pink and princess blue only in 12 cm; turquoise only in XL. Colour and size are therefore tied to each other, and it pays to establish your stirrup size first and then look at what there is in that size. The design is registered.

Honestly about the limits: one cover fits one stirrup size. Too small and it will not go over; too large and it slips off when you run the stirrup up. And the cover protects the leather where the stirrup rests, not the rest of your sweat flap: if your saddle rubs somewhere else, this is not the answer. What the manufacturer does not specify is the thickness of the neoprene, the weight, the washing instructions and whether the covers are supplied singly or per pair.

Measure the inside width of your stirrup first, from one side arm to the other: that is the measurement your cover has to match. Put the covers on as a matter of course when you untack, and you will never forget them at the moment it counts. For transport it matters more than in the tack room, because movement is added there. Slide the cover fully over the stirrup and not halfway, otherwise the metal just below it still rests against the leather. Let a wet cover dry before you slide it over the stirrup again, so that no moisture is left between neoprene and leather. That moisture is just as bad for your sweat flap as a scratch.

Choose these covers when you move your saddle about regularly, when you lunge with the stirrups run up, or when your saddle stands on a rack with the stirrups up. Discipline makes no difference; this is about the leather of your saddle, not about the riding. Well worth considering with a new saddle or with a saddle you want to keep for a long time. If you would rather have a cover that also keeps dust and dirt off your stirrup and can go in the wash, the cotton and jersey stirrup protectors in our range are a softer, textile solution. And if you ride with stirrups in a size that is not in this range, this cover will not fit.

Slide the cover fully over the stirrup, until the metal is nowhere left bare, and then run the stirrup up against the sweat flap. Take the covers off before you mount. If the neoprene gets wet from rain or sweat, let it air-dry before you put it back, because moisture between cover and leather does as much harm as rubbing. Store the covers dry. Replace them when the neoprene tears or has stretched so far that it no longer stays put.

Which size do I need?

The size follows your stirrup, not your boot. Measure the inside width of the stirrup between the two side arms. If you measure 11 cm, take 11 cm; if you measure 12 cm, take 12 cm. For wider stirrups there is XL.

How many centimetres is XL?

The manufacturer does not specify that. If your stirrups are wider than 12 cm, XL is the intended size; if in doubt, measure your stirrup and ask us.

Are all colours available in all sizes?

No. Black comes in 11 cm, 12 cm and XL. Navy and florid red in 12 cm and XL. Brown, bright pink and princess blue only in 12 cm. Turquoise only in XL.

How do I put them on?

Slide the cover over the stirrup and then run the stirrup up. No fastening is involved.

Do I get one or two?

The manufacturer does not document the pack contents. Ask us before you order if you definitely need a pair.

Can I ride in them?

No. The covers go over the stirrup and are meant for stirrups that are run up: when lungeing, in transport and in storage. You take them off before you mount.

Can they go in the washing machine?

The manufacturer gives no washing instructions. In practice neoprene cleans up well by hand in lukewarm water; let it air-dry afterwards and not next to a heat source.

What exactly are they for?

They keep the metal of the run-up stirrup away from the leather, so that your saddle picks up no scratches and the sweat flaps no dull patches.
