I have had a pair of Compositi Reflex stirrups since they came out (possibly around 15 years ago!) And swap between them and the Heather Moffett forward facing onces with massive tread. I just put them back on again this week and they make such a difference to my leg position - not entirely sure why, perhaps the weight, the tread, who knows? I keep looking at the Acavallo Arena Pros, but cant yet justify the ££££ ?

I swapped to my avacello arena stirrups last night. They had better and a wider grip but I did find they twist a bit, so they don’t sit straight under your feet. Will test them out again at the weekend but I did have to fiddle and ‘reset’ them, which didn’t happen with the sprenger ones (but they aren’t really a jump stirrup).

Just be aware if you use t bar stirrup leathers that you might also find yourself buying shorter leathers because the stirrups are so long that you have to go up a hole and that might put the t bar onto the bottom of the flap where it will rub.

I sold my Alupro rather than replace my new leathers.

I currently use sprenger but not the bow balance ones. Been toying with the idea of getting free jumps or techs.
