Thorowgood Stirrups

[Keep Trying]

Hi All,

Had a bit of a moment today during show jumping lesson when BOTH of my stirrups shattered at the same time whilst jumping. They were the black composite/nylon Shires Cheesgrater type and were only a couple of years old.

The problem I have now is that we are entered for a HT on Sunday and I am not able to shop for another set of stirrups tomorrow. I have checked my spares and found that I do have a new pair of the black Thorowgood Tuff stirrups but I am a bit wary of this type now - for obvious reasons!!! Can anyone advise whether they are safe or has there been 'shatter' problems with these as well?

I'll have to beg some from somewhere otherwise

Was just looking at buying some of these today! Will be interested to see what people have to say

Much to my surprise I find the Thorowgood ones very good value and they last. Ours are about 3 years old, are used for 3 or 4 horses every day and are in perfect condition.

Ekkk so sorry for you what a scary thing to happen! I have these stirrups and have had the same pair for 6 years now, never had a problem - but now im nervous!
