I need some advice here.....
My 5yo has always ridden his pony in peacock safety stirrups and in proper jodhpur boots.
However twice at pony club, I have seen these stirrups completely not work, with the child (not mine ) left dangling upside down. Today, the child only escaped because her jodhs boot came off eventually.
I'm really very worried as I always thought these stirrups were fail safe
Are there any safety stirrups for children that can be guaranteed to work?
Obviously hoping the leather comes off the stirrup bar doesn't happen either
Please help a worried mummy..
