Thorowgood Tuff Stirrups

[pookie]

Anyone used them? Any good?

 

[Piglet]

Yup, I use them for every day riding, they are really light which makes the saddle lighter too, not much more I can say about them, except I would buy another pair although I have had them for several years now and they are still going strong

Worth a try then I've never used plastic stirrups before so thought I'd ask. Thanks for the reply

 

[Silmarillion]

Terrible if you lose them - they flap about in the wind!

I love mine - really light and also grippy like cheesegrater stirrups, but do not scratch the saddle.

Daughter has just bought some & really loves them xx

Since when have lightweight stirrups been a good idea on anything apart from a racing saddle? I dont get it. We used to be told they were dangerous and to have something with enough weight to fall off your foot if need be.

 

[catwithclaws]

they are great, and much lighter than metal ones.

note - if you go in a river and one falls off, they WILL sink and your mates WILL get soaked digging around looking for it

I use them. I love them. They are lightweight, strong, grippy, don't mark the saddle and one unexpected advantage - you don't get cold feet in freezing temperatures

I've also been using mine years with no signs of wear at all.

Majority in favour then The only stirrups I have left from my last horse are some Kwik-Outs I rarely used.

If you like the idea of the polymer but prefer a different type of stirrup, I think they are manufactured by Compositi who do a range of them (Mark Todd also does polymer stirrups). A bit more expensive than the Tuffs but nice

Oh god, a whole range! How do I choose?! And red grip ones too...

Ponio hasn't even been vetted yet and I can already see myself spending a fortune
