The allure of the stirrup
They have to be sturdy, safe, fit for purpose, and a bit of technical savvy doesn’t go astray.
With a stainless steel, non-slippery grip inlay for secure hold, Sprenger’s Flexcite Grip Stirrups are winners. Even in the worst of weather conditions the grip is perfect, yet they’ll still release in an emergency. The jointed, bow shaped design features extra wide tread to assist with perfect balance, and the flexible, shock-absorbing arms are kind to ligaments and joints.
Get safety and a little colour into your life with LeMieux’s Vector Control Stirrups. Superior technical design combined with high-grade, aviation-standard aluminium has produced a stirrup that’s immensely strong yet surprisingly lightweight. The cutting-edge footplate is equipped with hardened steel studs, and the built-in arm with its two-stage release system puts your safety first. Available in a range of colours.
Freejump’s Air’s Dressage Edition Stirrups, available in silver and gold, offer a stainless steel frame along with design features for improved comfort, better balance and optimised grip. Choose your Air’s stirrups technical options: eye orientation (30° oriented or straight), and inclination of the floor (flat or 10° inclined). The top polyamide banner is designed to unclip in the event of strong pressure to safely release the foot.
Flex-On Green Composite Stirrups with Inclined Ultra Grip are designed with an elastomer-based shock-absorption system to aid in reducing muscle and joint fatigue. The frames and stirrup leather slots are offset, reducing stress on the rider’s joints and offering an improved connection with the horse. The green composite range is designed with naturally-sourced polyamide with a steel core to provide optimum flexibility.
