Billet Strap Protectors

Moss Rock's BioThane Stirrup Cages are designed to snap onto your stirrups. They are made from 3/4" BioThane, which has a shiny finish and a stiff yet flexible feel.

Carefully select your stirrup model and style, as these stirrup cages are made to order and are not eligible for exchange or return.

Currently, these are being made for limited stirrup brands and styles. If you do not see your stirrup model, please check back periodically as the lineup of stirrup styles is being expanded.

Sold as a pair/set of two. Stirrups not included.


Why the Cage Patterns are Not Interchangeable
Each cage pattern is meticulously designed to fit its corresponding stirrup size and model. This precision ensures that the snaps are accurately measured and placed to align with the top bar width of the specific stirrup. Due to this exacting design, the material and pattern offer no "give" or adjustability.

While the snaps might attach to the edge of another stirrup, the central portion—where the foot rests—could bulge excessively. This would make the cage too large, potentially compromising its safety features and overall functionality.

Using a cage pattern that does not match the stirrup model will result in an improper fit.


Why BioThane is the Best Choice for Stirrup Cages

Stirrup cages are made exclusively from BioThane rather than Beta because BioThane has a stiffer structure that holds its shape better over time. Unlike Beta, which has a softer, more flexible feel similar to leather, BioThane has a firmer composition that provides the necessary rigidity to keep the stirrup cage in place and maintain its form under pressure.

This added structure ensures that the cages don’t collapse inward or become too flexible, which could interfere with their function and safety.

The BioThane color choices available in the dropdown menu are the only colors I keep in stock for these stirrup cages. If you don’t see a specific color listed, it means I don’t have it on hand for this product.

Ghost makes Wool and Sheepskin seat savers that are designed to fit perfectly to your saddle's seat size and model shape.

The Zalea is a full coverage seat saver that attaches to your saddle with sturdy velcro straps that are set between your saddle's base and panels. Additionally, the saddle's flap fits into a built-in pocket on the seat saver, this ensures it will not shift or bunch under your legs.

Seat Savers aid to prevent skin irritations like chafing and rub marks, if you have any sensitivity to your saddle's seat or where your leg rests on your saddle's flap. They are a fantastic accessory that offers some cush for your tush!

Zalea's are offered in several choices of material:
(1) Wool Blend that comes in either Black or Brown and covers the saddle's seat and flaps, but not the thigh blocks.
(2) Vella is medical grade synthetic lambskin. It's easy to care for and offers a soft, breathable barrier between you and your saddle's seat. Vella is only offered in white and covers the saddle's seat, flaps, and thigh blocks.
(3) Standard Sheepskin is offered in either natural, black, or brown. It is low profile and measures approximately 1/2" (1 cm) thick. It covers the saddle's seat and flaps, but not the thigh blocks.
(4) Medicinal Natural Sheepskin is a cream/yellow tan color, the sheared wool length measures approximately 1 Inch (2.54 cm) thick. Sheepskin is more durable and comfortable than it's synthetic alternatives. It covers the saddle's seat, flaps, and thigh blocks.

Saddle cover for long flap or short flap saddles.

Shims are a fantastic resource to help ensure proper fit and balance of the saddle for both horse and rider.

Shims aid in support and adjust for a better saddle fit by lifting the front of the saddle off the horse's shoulders, allowing better working range of motion and avoiding the rider placing unintentional pressure and stress near the withers. Shims can offer the necessary lift to balance the rider and avoid putting the horse on his forehand.

Depending upon where your horse's anatomy and motion affect the saddle's placement and movement, the rider may feel tipped forward in their saddle's seat, shims can assist in leveling out the saddle.

Additionally, as your horse's physique changes, shims are intended to be modified and adjusted to assist in maintaining balance if a horse is downhill, has one shoulder larger than the other, starts or stops consistently in exercise, changes shape with growth or aging, etc.

If your horse has one shoulder larger than the other, add shims the side of the smaller shoulder. Panel shims or pad shims work best to correct this issue.

If your horse is downhill, pocket shims provide the biggest lift to the front of the saddle and work best to correct this issue.

There are three different types of shims that work well with Ghost saddles:

(1) Felt Panel Shims. These shims are designed to be inserted into the front of the Velcro opening inside the saddle's panels. These soft shims are minimalistic and provide a clean look since they're placed inside the equipment and are not visible once installed. Sold as a set of four, use one set for a 1/4" lift or both together for a 1/2" lift.

(2) Felt Pad Shims. These shims are designed to be are inserted into the front of the saddle pad. This option is ideal switching the saddle between horses and only one of them needs shims. These shims are layered on top of the saddle pad inserts. Sold as a set of four, use one set for a 1/4" lift or both together for a 1/2" lift.

(3) Velcro Pocket Shims. These are a 2cm thick wedged shim and cut from the same material the Ghost saddle pad inserts are made of. They're placed on the underside of the saddle's base and provide the biggest lift of all the shim types. Velcro pocket shims are designed to be used with both Ghost panels and the Ghost western skirt.
