Abstract: This invention relates to an improved stirrup buckle characterized by a generally channel-shaped "keeper" having at least one and preferably a pair of pins projecting therefrom in side-by-side spaced relation adapted to enter selected registered pairs of apertures in the overlapped layers of the looped leather stirrup supporting strap, and a sleeve-like "slide" permanently affixed to the keeper with a pin and slot connection for limited slidable movement relative thereto between a telescoped position covering the pins and holding the strap layers thereon to an open position uncovering the pins so that one or more layers of strap can be removed therefrom and relocated to raise or lower the stirrup relative to the saddle from which it hangs.

Abstract: This invention relates to a formed leather sheath for covering the buckles of adjustable stirrup-supporting belts on a saddle, said sheath being characterized by a buckle-receiving pocket open on both ends, a necked-down section integrally formed on one open end sized to slide freely along the belt without passing over the buckle, strap-forming means depending from the other open end sized to encircle the belt, and fastener means cooperating with said strap means to define an openable collar effective in closed position with the necked-down position abutting one end of the buckle to engage the belt on the other end of said buckle and maintain the latter within the pocket.
