Stirrup Leathers
As a general guide to the length required - Measure the length of your arm from your armpit to the tip of your fingers for jumping length (or alternatively measure your inseam to ankle for dressage), double to measurement and add 2-4 inches for jumping, or add 6-8 inches for flatwork. Stirrups will add another 6-8 inches to this.
The standard adult length is 54" for general riding and jumping. Shorter riders may select 48 - 52".
The average length for dressage riders is 60". Very tall riders may need 62-67 inches. Shorter dressage riders may choose 56-58 inches.
Usually, a rider will select stirrup leathers which allow them to shorten for jumping and lengthen for flatwork while still allowing enough spare to tuck into the stirrup leather keeper on the saddle to reduce bulk under the leg.
