Stirrups in the SJing at HOYS

[Irishcobs]

Some of the SJers are using really wide bottomed stirrups, some which are different colours (blue, red etc) does anyone know what make they are?

 

[Jesstickle]

Possibly they're JIN ones

Can't remember the make without looking in tack room,! My son got a pair at hoys last year in red, they r expensive think I paid £ 78 but they are light and do help him keep his foot in right place.

I saw them in the La Mieux catalogue but can't remember the make....

 

[ROMANY 1959]

Yes that's the ones! Wow gone up in price since last year...

I was there today and noticed them too! Don't like them much they look a bit odd!

Would I hell pay that for a set of stirrup irons!!

 

[tallyho!]

They wouldn't have paid BB... they would've been given to use by the promoters so that people WITH money can buy them

I use the Freejump stirrups (the ones on equiport) , they are amazing to ride in and once youv'e ridden in them you won't want to ride in anything else. Your lower leg becomes so stable and they make it near on impossible to lose your stirrups, plus the safety stirrup design prevents any risk of being dragged after a fall and I have a very dodgy right ankle after severe ligament damage and after riding 6 horses I don't have any pain if I have used these as so supportive. Yes they are horrendously expensive but totally totally worth it! They come from netherlands and are a bit cheaper if you order them directly from here- http://en.freejumpsystem.com/

My thoughts exactly! Think I'll keep my bog standard stainless steel bent iron ones!

I use the Reflex ones. Cost me £20 off ebay and they are brilliant. Great for security and sore knees are a thing of the past.
However - the big name sellers have cottoned on to how good they are and have hiked the price by a whopping 60% but you can still buy them cheaply if you search the net, like here: http://www.happytack.co.uk/german-pfiff-black-reflex-shock-absorber-stirrups-332-p.asp
