Are those stirrup leathers BLUE?
In July, we got an order for two sets of blue stirrup leathers (yes, we do carry them and they’re beautiful) from Rose Sandler. Rose is competing in the Mongol Derby–the hardest, longest horse race in the world at 1,000 km through the Mongolian wilderness. What an incredible journey!
Rose wanted one set of beta leathers to use on her saddle, and one set to tie on packs and have as a back-up in case she ran into problems on the trail.
After Day Six of riding, we’re pleased to report that Rose is still in the running about midpack. Good luck to Rose and the other American competitors!
