Stainless Steel Bent Leg Safety Stirrups – Pony Club Approved

Ride with confidence using Stainless Steel Bent Leg Safety Stirrups, also commonly known as Australian Simplex stirrup irons. Featuring a distinctive curved outer leg, these stirrups are designed to provide an opening that may help the rider's foot release more easily if a fall occurs.

Popular among equestrians, the bent-leg design combines a traditional style with a practical safety feature. Manufactured from durable stainless steel, these stirrup irons are built for regular riding use and are approved by Pony Club Australia, as stated in the product information.

Correct fitting is essential for the safety feature to function as intended. The curved section must face forwards and sit on the outside of the rider's foot. If fitted in the wrong direction, the design may increase the risk of the foot becoming trapped rather than helping it release.
