Le Mieux Vector Balance & Control Stirrup - Premium Equestrian Stirrups for Enhanced Stability & Performance | Perfect for Dressage, Jumping & Horseback Riding

Product Description

The LeMieux Vector stirrups are a lightweight safety stirrup with a wide grip for stability and balance. This safety stirrup retains a classic look and offers style - as expected from LeMieux

Made from aviation grade aluminium which offers an impressive strength to weight ration, these stirrups are lighter than most stirrups on the market at just 419g each, whilst not compromising on stability.

The ergonomic footplate of the Control Stirrup is set at 0 ¼ with a cross-track grip surface with embedded hardened steel pins to provide maximum security of the boot.

The footplate is supported by a twin balance arch system that distributes the weight evenly across the base of the stirrup frame. The apex of the frame is recessed and off-set, making it easier for the rider to regain a lost stirrup.

An integrated safety arm has a two-stage release system, preventing unintentional opening. The spring loaded safety arm locks into the base of the main frame meaning that when under maximum pressure, such as landing over a fence, the rider's weight is spread evenly across the stirrup, preventing the outside dropping and flexing. When pressure is put onto the arm of the stirrup, such as if the rider falls, the arm releases allowing the foot to come out of the stirrup and preventing it getting stuck. The stirrup arm breakout force = 36N (equivalent to 3.62kg) in testing meaning enough resistance to stop it opening unintentionally but will safely release in the event of a rider falling
