Smart Rider Breakaway Safety Stirrups
Works with both English and western saddles. Rugged high density shock resistant construction, molded with a rubber foot tread. Designed to break away in case of a fall. This stirrup was made to release when pressue is applied laterally, helping to prevent a rider from being dragged after falling. The middle bar is designed not to release unless the toe of the foot is pointed upwards, as it does when a rider falls from the horse, hooks the bar and applies lateral pressure. The inner bar will then release, freeing the foot from the stirrup. An added feature is this stirrup can be used as a mounting aid/ladder when titled to a 180 degree angle. Only available in black and brown at this time.
