An English saddle stirrup is a metal or composite loop that hangs from the saddle by a leather strap.
It provides support for the rider’s feet and aids in mounting and balance during riding.
Typically made of stainless steel, aluminum, or lightweight polymers, they are durable and rust-resistant.
Stirrups are designed with a flat base, often with rubber grip pads for stability and safety.
They come in various styles like Fillis, Peacock (safety), or Flex for different riding disciplines.
Properly adjusted stirrup length helps maintain correct leg position and rider comfort.
They are essential for English riding styles such as dressage, jumping, and eventing.
