Safety stirrups
Accidents happen all the time, particularly in the equestrian world. There is always the possibility of falling off, no matter how skilled a rider you are. Riders should always use protective gear such as a helmet, gloves, boots, and safety stirrups.
Safety stirrups may not appear to be a huge deal, but they might make the difference between no injury and severe injury. Because safety stirrups aid in the release of your foot from your stirrups in the event of a fall, you will not become stuck in the stirrup and dragged behind your horse. Go for the best safety stirrups you can get!
Types of safety stirrups
Safety stirrups are stirrups with a safety mechanism. At Epplejeck, you will find multiple types of safety stirrups. Our product range includes stirrups with a rubber band on the side that releases if the rider's foot gets caught in the stirrups during a fall. Many different types of safety stirrups for adults and children have been produced over the years.
Freejump stirrups have a distinct opening mechanism that bends open when force is applied to them. The purpose, as you can see, is to ensure that the rider's foot releases in the event of an accident. Safety stirrups with Toe Stoppers are recommended for children. The Toe Stopper will prevent the kid’s foot from slipping through the stirrup.
A flexible stirrup can move in four directions, which makes it easier to get your foot out of the stirrup. There are also safety stirrups where the side releases when there is too much pressure on the stirrup. Once the side releases, it is easy to push it back in.
On our website, you will also find the Freejump AIR’S stirrups. These stirrups are fantastic for shock absorption. These stirrups are equipped with Air Cushion under the foot, an inclined tread and an angled eye. The upper headband gets triggered under high pressure and releases your foot more easily in case of a fall.
