Handy spares to keep in your tack box for quick adjustments and repairs. The EcoRider Leather Keepers are standard replacement parts, essential for securing loose straps on your bridles, reins, and martingales.
Hand-crafted from our premium, vegetable-tanned EcoLeather and deeply hand-conditioned with EcoRider's natural beeswax formula, these keepers offer unmatched durability. Unlike cheap chrome-tanned options that stretch and snap under moisture, our eco-leather keepers undergo a gentle, multi-week tanning process that ensures they remain strong, flexible, and capable of developing a beautiful patina over time with exposure and use.
Key Performance Features:
- Pair of Spare Keepers: Sold in pairs to ensure you always have quick replacement parts on hand in your tack box or grooming kit.
- Multiple Width Profiles: Available in both refined 1/2" (13mm) and standard 5/8" (16mm) widths to match your specific cheekpieces, throatlash, or rein straps.
- High-Durability Build: Naturally vegetable-tanned to strict REACH standards, providing several times the lifespan of standard synthetic or chrome-tanned keepers.
- Breathable & Hypoallergenic: Incredibly gentle against your horse's face, preventing friction rubs and hair loss around active strap joints.

Anatomical Configuration
Loose, flapping leather straps can tap repetitively against the horse's face, causing sensory distraction, head-shaking, and tension during training. Stiff keepers can also pinch the delicate skin behind the ears or along the cheekbones. These vegetable-tanned EcoLeather keepers soften with body heat, sitting flat and securely against the straps to maintain a quiet, distraction-free tack configuration.
Material Integrity & Care
Dynamic Fit Tip
💡 Pro-Tip: Moisten the keepers slightly with a damp sponge if they are tight during the first application to help them stretch and conform securely to your double-strapped cheekpieces
