Patented side opening stirrup with a unique HiFLex stress activated locking & release mechanism with big opening in case of emergency. This stirrup is comprehensively tested and safety certified by TUVRheinland in Germany and has a reliable "one click" reengagement of the stirrup locking and release mechanism once triggered.
The inner stirrup arm and footplate constructed of continuous integrated metal. The stirrup bow is made of aluminum, while the opening arm is made of a special polyamide material. The stirrup pad is made of polyamide, too, and the tread is fabricated from stainless steel.
MAIN FEATURES
Unique, stress-actuated locking and release mechanism located between the lower end of the outer, pivoting stirrup arm and the foot support plate/tread. Easy and reliable “one-click” re-engagement of the stirrup locking and release mechanism once triggered.
SPECIAL SPRING EFFECT
Due to its design and construction which is based on flexible polymers, the stirrup conveys a less rigid and much more comfortable feeling to the rider than with conventional products The springing stirrup bow and foot support assembly is capable of effectively absorbing and compensating for short-term and sudden impacts exerted through the rider’s weight from the top, e. g. during posting, jumping or hacking. This gives considerable benefits for the rider including strong relief of foot arches, ankles, knees and hips making this a great stirrup for those riders suffering from orthopedic problems.

The Opera stirrup is a completely new concept in riding because of its special patented loop construction, which allows the stirrup to adhere to the saddle flap, avoiding friction between the leg and the stirrup. This gives a more correct, comfortable and secure ride as the stirrup hangs with perfect balance, angle & flexibility.
The large laser cut stainless steel stirrup pad gives riders better grip and relieves tension in the hips, knees, ankles and calves. The foot plate is supported by twin moulded side sections made of composite material in injection. Each side works independently, spreading load & absorbing shock.
Each set of stirrups now comes with the complete set of country flags so you can personalise them how you wish.

John Whitaker Metlab Air Irons have bendy arms and cushioning sole which softens the impact on riders joints and horses back.
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
