The LeMieux Vector stirrups are a new generation of safety stirrup - technically advanced and lightweight, but retaining a classic style expected from LeMieux
Machined from aviation grade aluminium offers an impressive strength to weight ration, making them lighter than most stirrups on the market at just 419g each, whilst not compromising on stability.
The ergonomic footplate of the Balance Stirrup is set at 5º with a cross-track grip surface and mounted on an impact absorbing cushion layer of dynamic polymer with a 70% comression rating. Impact and vibrations are absorbed at the point of landing when jumping which reduces the fatigue to the knee and ankle and lowers the stress on leg muscles and tendons. The embedded hardened steel pins provide maximum security of the boot.
The footplate is supported by a twin balance arch system that distributes the weight evenly across the base of the stirrup frame. The apex of the frame is recessed and off-set, encouraging a 45º outward orientation which makes it easier for the rider to locate the optimum angle for the foot and regain a lost stirrup.
An integrated safety arm has a two-stage release system, preventing unintentional opening. The spring loaded safety arm locks into the base of the main frame meaning that when under maximum pressure, such as landing over a fence, the rider's weight is spread evenly across the stirrup, preventing the outside dropping and flexing. When pressure is put onto the arm of the stirrup, such as if the rider falls, the arm releases allowing the foot to come out of the stirrup and preventing it getting stuck. The stirrup arm breakout force = 36N (equivalent to 3.62kg) in testing meaning enough resistance to stop it opening unintentionally but will safely release in the event of a rider falling

This really is the Full Monty of numnah's, fully lined with a full rolled edge of the finest 100% natural Australian Woolmark accredited Merino Lambswool. These numnah's are thicker (22mm) under the seat area and lighter in the lower panels (18mm).
The flexible backing expands and contracts as the horse moves
Dense and soft dynamic wool structure consistantly moulds to the back
Intergral strength of pads make them tough on the rigours of wear and regular washing
Spine is swept up at the wither relieving pressure on the withers
Finer and shorter wool lines the spine to provide comfort and allows air to flow through the pad
A stiffer spine gives these numnahs a good shape and stability under the saddle The strengthened signature girth protection area has double adjustable velcro straps for ease of saddle fitting.
It's well known there's nothing better for a horses back than natural wool - it promotes blood circulation, is fully breathable, and help to maintain optimum temperature in summer and winter. It regulates humidity, controlling the breeding of bacteria and viruses and prevents bruising, scarring, chaffing and pressure sores.
If washed carefully on a wool cycle (max 30 degrees), or by hand, with LeMieux Wool Wash or non-biological powder or liquid these lambswool pads will last for years. Always air dry. DO NOT tumble dry or place directly on a heat source
Available in: Full Size (17.5" - 18") and Medium Size (16"-17")
"It's like traction-control for saddles! They just don't move. Great idea that works perfectly with close contact jumping saddles." Scott Brash
The Twin Sided X-Grip Euro Jump square combines the stylish, iconic LeMieux cut with the new X-Grip silicone & bespoke Acavallo Gel mould to provide the maximum saddle stability, shock absorbency and grip of any saddle pad! The unique 3 layer design combines the X-Grip silicone top side, Blast foam core & Acavallo gel underside to create one low profile highly effective pad. The lower density memory foam under the X-Grip silicone aids saddles to bed down and stabilise whist the bespoke X-Grip Acavallo gel underside has the same low profile, non-slip credentials as all Acavallo products. This twin sided technology makes this the most elite product in the LeMieux stable.
The EuroJump design marks an exciting collaboration with Scott Brash, the world’s no 1 showjumper. These pads have been developed to precisely fit the cut of modern jumping saddles. High Cut wither and swept up at the back to avoid catching the riders leg. New super soft Bamboo linings absorb & control sweat under the saddle and are beautifully comfortable and secure. Wider girth keepers incorporate three inner locking loops to offer more girthing options.
Beautiful lightweight cotton square that is half lined with the finest 100% natural Australian Woolmark accredited Merino Lambswool. A lot less bulky than traditional jumping squares, these pads are designed for more forward cut jumping saddles with a stream lined shape to minimise heat build up and weight.

These high quality Half Pads are 100% natural Australian Merino lambskin - the wool is much denser & softer than the older sheep wool used in many rival numnahs. The spine is swept up at the wither relieving pressure on the spine and allowing air flow. Half Pads are best sellers because they can be used with any cut of saddle. They can be used on top of a thin cotton square or straight onto the horses back.
Button hole slits positioned on the front edge allows for neat combination with all LeMieux D-Ring saddle pads. This combination means the standard velcro straps on the Half Pad can be removed if desired.
