They have a size XXL...thats for short legs and wide calf.. fit beautifully.
I have several of them.... the perforated leather is cooler in the summer.

That's why I like the Barnstable Half Chaps. Made of suede, with velcro tabs to close. They are also fairly substantial leather, which is much better for trail riding than the thinner leather used from some show or schooling half chaps. Good price, too - Dover sells them for around $60, I think.
Mine always end up with folds in them, since I have short legs, too. :)

Hi Janelle,
Look for suede/Velcro half chaps. They are much more forgiving in the size department – I have short legs too. I have found some onwww.horseloverz.comthat fit some of my heavier boarders. And they’re much better priced than the zippered ones. With suede, you can even fold them down one notch if you need to, or worst case, undo the stitching, cut them and sew them back up by hand or possibly with even a reasonably heavy duty machine.
Half chaps really fulfill multiple functions – they can keep junk out of your shoes, keep your saddle from soring you and save your legs next to a barb wire fence or other sharp objects if you do the kind of crazy rides we do.
