The best technical stirrups are a must-have tack accessory and can make a real difference to your time in the saddle. Whether you’re hoping to improve your performance or increase your comfort in the saddle, there’s a pair of technical stirrups out there for you – and while you’re at it, it’s worth checking out the best stirrup leathers, too.

Long gone are the days where everyone used traditional stirrup irons – now the range of technical and safety stirrups on the market is vast and when searching for a new pair there are myriad styles, colours and materials to choose from. Technological advances over recent years have influenced the shape and safety features of many stirrups, while comfort levels also vary.

What are the benefits of technical stirrups?
When you compare the best technical stirrups that are currently available with the simple, traditional steel irons, it’s easy to see how far we’ve come. Technical stirrups are more shock-absorbing, which is great news for our joints as they’re some of the best stirrups for knee pain or ankle pain. They also have better grip, which helps us retain our stirrups, and are ergonomically designed. The angles used in technical stirrups not only help you regain a lost stirrup more easily, but some designs help you keep your heels down, too.

The safety aspect is also important – many technical stirrups are now also shaped to allow your foot to slide out more easily in the event of a fall, while others have a breakaway arm.

Technical stirrups for dressage vs jumping
While stirrups can be used in any discipline (assuming they comply with the rules if you’re competing), some designs are made with particular disciplines in mind. By investing in a quality training stirrup that guides you into the right position, you can begin to develop improved feel, coordination and technique.

With the different leg positions and demands on the body in each discipline, some stirrup designs will be more beneficial to you than others. Using the right stirrups for your discipline not only aid your leg position, but can help alleviate pain, too. The best dressage stirrups will aid a longer leg position, while the best jumping stirrups will give you the security you need when tackling a course.

What size stirrups do I need?
Not all stirrups come in a range of sizes, but where they do you should choose a pair that are one inch wider than the width of your boot at the ball of your foot. This gives you half an inch of space each side once your foot is in place. Some stirrup sizes are determined by weight – particularly when it comes to safety stirrups. While you might have feet small enough to fit junior stirrups, for example, you need to check the rider weight limits for activating the safety mechanism.
