Stirrup Bank – Terms
Our Stirrup Bank allows you to try a set of stirrups at home for 2 weeks before committing.
Stirrups are supplied at full retail price for the trial.
As they may have been used previously, some light signs of wear should be expected.
If the stirrups aren’t suitable, you’re welcome to return them within the 2-week trial period for a refund minus 10% of the retail value.
All returned items are inspected on arrival. If there is excessive wear or any damage caused during the trial, an additional deduction may apply.
Customers are responsible for the safe return and packaging of the stirrups. Please keep all original packaging until you decide whether to keep them, as this helps prevent damage in transit.
If you would prefer to exchange the trial pair for a brand-new set of the same model, we can arrange this. The exchange will be processed once the trial fee is paid and stock is available.
We are unable to offer the Stirrup Bank service internationally.
If you would like us to provide a Royal Mail return label, we can do so for £6.00. There’s no need to pay upfront—this will simply be deducted from your refund.

Thank you Flo@teamfloeventing, I couldn't have put it better myself!
“The best thing about the Bates Advanta saddle is that I feel so secure! Within 2 days of having the saddle I used it for a British Eventing horse trials and it was amazing. The leather is so soft it felt like it was made to measure. I’ve tried other close contact saddles but this felt like I had so much contact with my pony which made me feel so safe. I love the blocks being on top of the saddle as you don’t get a curved saddle flap. I’ve jumped higher than before just because I feel so secure! My pony moves more freely too, he feels more supple and less restricted. I knew straight away that it was the saddle for me”. Flo @teamfloeventing
The Acavallo Flexia S Safety Stirrups combine innovative safety features with advanced biomechanical technology to provide exceptional comfort, stability and support for the rider.
Featuring a flexible, antistatic silicone safety arm designed to open quickly in the event of a fall, these stirrups help reduce the risk of the rider's foot becoming trapped.
The innovative Flex System allows the tread to rotate smoothly on a horizontal axis, following the natural position and movement of the rider's foot. Adjustable resistance helps absorb movement and reduce strain on the rider's joints, while the ergonomic, elliptical tread provides excellent grip and support.
During jumping, the Rear Flex assists with take-off and landing, while the Front Flex helps compensate for forward shifts in the rider's balance.
Key Features:
Flexible silicone safety arm designed for quick foot release in a fall.
Innovative Flex System allows the tread to follow the rider's foot movement.

Designed by David Dyer Saddles in collaboration with Ideal, the DJ Monoflap Pony GP Saddle was created specifically to give smaller riders a closer, more secure feel on broad ponies.
Wide pony saddles can inevitably create bulk beneath a little rider’s seat and leg, particularly with a traditional dual-flap construction. For children with shorter legs, this can make it harder to feel close to the pony and maintain a naturally balanced position. The DJ uses a monoflap design to significantly reduce that bulk, allowing the rider’s leg to sit closer to the pony for improved feel, communication and stability.
Built on Ideal’s WR12 open-head tree, the saddle has been designed with the broader, more defined-withered pony in mind – particularly the type of conformation often seen in Welsh Section A ponies.
The saddle is made in split bull leather, chosen for its beautifully soft, grippy feel while still offering the durability needed from a hardworking children’s saddle. A soft, slim and broad panel helps the saddle mould comfortably around the pony while keeping the rider as close as possible.
Finished with distinctive blue welting, the DJ combines a smart, modern appearance with a design developed around the needs of both pony and young rider.

This has a different feel to our Universal GP; slim riders or those with narrower hips may feel it suits them better. The ‘compact’ refers to the neat seat which makes this a great option for the petite rider on a large pony or small horse.
