Product Information
Full details
The Freejump Soft'Up Lite Stirrups are designed specifically for young riders or those with smaller feet (up to EU size 39) who prioritize safety and joint relief. These stirrups offer industry-leading shock absorption through an innovative single-branch spring steel frame, significantly reducing strain on both the rider's joints and the horse's back. While they provide exceptional comfort and grip, users should note that they are strictly engineered for specific foot size ranges, making them unsuitable for adult riders with larger feet.

FAQs
What is the maximum foot size for these stirrups?
The Soft'Up Lite is specifically designed for riders with feet up to size EU 39.
Can these stirrups be used by adults?
Yes, provided the rider meets the maximum foot size requirement, they are perfectly suitable for adults.
How does the flexible branch help with safety?
The outer branch is designed to bend and open under pressure, which allows the rider's foot to release immediately in the event of a fall.
Do I need special stirrup leathers?
These stirrups work with most standard stirrup leathers, but using Freejump-specific leathers can enhance the ergonomic angle.
Are they heavy?
No, they are engineered to be lightweight while maintaining high strength through the use of spring steel and fiberglass.
How often should I clean the tread?
Clean the tread whenever mud or arena sand accumulates to maintain the integrity of the 'super grip' studs.
Troubleshooting
Stirrup feels unstable during mounting
Ensure the stirrup eye is correctly oriented and the leather is properly balanced on the saddle bar.
Grip studs becoming slippery
Use a stiff brush and warm soapy water to clear dirt from between the studs to restore traction.
Difficulty in keeping the stirrup horizontal
Verify that your stirrup leathers are of compatible width and not twisted at the attachment point.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the Freejump Soft'Up Lite stirrups, attach them to your stirrup leathers by sliding the eye onto the strap, ensuring the open branch is oriented toward the outside of the saddle. Because of the specific safety design, always verify that the flexible branch faces away from the horse. For daily maintenance, clean the stirrup treads with a soft brush to remove mud and debris, which keeps the grip studs effective. Periodically check the spring steel branch for any debris to ensure the flexible release mechanism remains unobstructed. Store your saddle in a dry place to prevent rust or material degradation of the steel components.
