NOTE: EXAMPLE ONLY - DATA IS NOT CURRENT

REPLACE 3" FULL STIRRUP LEATHERS

STANDARDS AND PRACTICES: As a matter of policy and safety, ASMA recommends that both stirrup leathers be replaced. The problem that caused one stirrup leather to fail is probably present in the other. Also, the new leather will stretch at a different rate over time and possibly cause more problems later.
