Frequently Asked Questions

What is an English stirrup iron?

An English stirrup iron is the metal foot platform attached to the saddle via stirrup leathers. Modern English stirrups come in stainless steel, aluminium and composite materials, and increasingly include ergonomic and safety features (angled tread, breakaway sides, shock-absorbing flex).
When should I use an English stirrup iron?

Every ride - the stirrup is essential English-riding kit. Choice between traditional steel irons and modern ergonomic patterns is personal preference and discipline.
What English stirrup iron brands do you stock?

Acavallo REL-X EASY and REL-X 180 ergonomic stirrups. Tech Stirrups Rome Racing pattern. For the broader stirrup range, see stirrup leathers.
How do I size an English stirrup?

Standard adult stirrups are typically 4.75" (12cm) wide; smaller riders or pony riders may use 4.25" (10.5cm). The stirrup should leave 1cm of space either side of your boot when fitted - too tight risks foot trapping, too loose risks the foot sliding through.
How do I care for English stirrup irons?

Wipe down after each ride to clear sweat from the tread. Inspect the stirrup eye and the bar attachment regularly for wear. Replace any stirrup showing visible damage.
Should I use safety stirrups?

Modern safety stirrups (Acavallo REL-X, Tech Stirrups patterns) reduce the risk of foot trapping in a fall. They're particularly recommended for children and novice riders, and increasingly used at all levels. See safety stirrups.
