Enhance your riding experience with ANTARÈS expertise through single-branch stirrup leathers, designed to unlock the full potential of your position in the saddle. These high-end stirrup leathers combine modern equestrian engineering, exceptional comfort, and meticulous finishing to meet the expectations of every rider concerned about stability, while preserving the precision of their aids.
A single-branch design, synonymous with absolute comfort and stability
The wide stirrup leathers by ANTARÈS represent a major innovation for riders seeking precision and ease. Their fully single-branch design means each leather spreads widely under the saddle flap, eliminating any thickness on the inside of the leg. This architecture allows the leg to lengthen naturally—without discomfort—no matter the position adopted over fences or on the flat.
- Precise positioning of contact: The single branch hugs the saddle flap, providing uniform support and completely clearing the area of the lower flap. The calf lies flat against the saddle, with no pressure points or friction, for direct and optimal feel on the horse.
- Sense of lightness: Say goodbye to discomfort or bulges caused by classic buckles at the top of the leather—the buckle is positioned at the bottom, under the saddle flap. This ensures discreet, lightweight, and invisible attachment that blends perfectly under the leg.
- Flawless stability: The stirrup leathers stay in place, even during repeated movements or jumps. This stability results in a more secure seat and a greater ability to follow the horse’s motion.
Quick installation & adjustments for everyday efficiency
For ANTARÈS, daily efficiency is essential. Every detail of these leathers has been optimized to save you precious time at the stables or in competition:
- Large, easy-access loop: A wide keeper accommodates your saddle's stirrup bar in seconds, even while wearing gloves, allowing for smooth and rapid installation.
- Express attachment system: Thanks to their single-branch design, attaching or removing the stirrups has never been so intuitive. The time saved when preparing or storing your tack makes daily life easier and guarantees reliable assembly.
- Intuitive adjustment: Graduations along the entire length provide ideal precision: set your length perfectly, adapted to rider size and discipline.
- Clear identification: Each piece is marked "R" for right and "L" for left to avoid any confusion during installation—a real plus when preparing quickly.
A technical choice crafted for show jumping and intensity
The primary aim of ANTARÈS single-branch leathers is sporting equestrianism, particularly show jumping. Their wide profile optimizes pressure distribution under the leg during landing and take-off phases, providing a better connection with the horse when stability is crucial.
- Complete absence of extra thickness: Ideal for clearing fences without discomfort, even on the most technical courses.
- Universal compatibility: These leathers fit all jumping saddles with open stirrup bars and are compatible with virtually all modern stirrups, from the most classic to the most technical.
- Flexibility and robustness: Crafted from premium materials, their durability is enhanced—they retain their hold and flexibility even after multiple intensive uses, while preserving the saddle and preventing premature wear.
- Comfort in competition and training: Their ability to stay discreet under the leg encourages a natural, uninterrupted application of the aids, essential for peak performance.

Usage and care tips
To maintain all the shine and performance of your ANTARÈS stirrup leathers, we recommend cleaning them regularly with a soft, slightly damp cloth. In case of mud or sweat splashes, wipe immediately to prevent the material from deteriorating prematurely. Occasional use of a specific leather balm (for leather models) will ensure suppleness and shine year after year.
No tools are required for installation. Simply make sure to position the "R" leather (right) on the right stirrup bar and "L" (left) on the left. The wide opening makes engagement effortless—even in a rush.
