Product Information
Full details
The Tech Stirrups Venice Safety Stirrups are designed for equestrian enthusiasts across show jumping, cross-country, and dressage disciplines who prioritize rider safety without compromising on technical performance. Their primary benefit is an innovative safety-release mechanism that allows the outer arm to open during a fall to prevent foot entrapment, automatically resetting afterward. While these stirrups offer premium durability and an ergonomic design, potential users should note that the specialized safety mechanism requires periodic inspection to ensure it remains free of debris for optimal operation.

FAQs
Are these stirrups approved for competition?
Yes, they are generally permitted in show jumping, cross-country, and dressage, though it is always best to check your specific federation's current rulebook.
Does the safety arm open during normal riding?
No, the mechanism is calibrated to open only under the specific pressure profile of a rider's fall.
Can I use these on any saddle?
Yes, they are compatible with standard stirrup leathers used on all common English-style saddles.
What material are they made of?
They are crafted from high-quality, eco-sustainable, and recyclable metals.
How do I know when to replace the grip pads?
Replace the pads when the metal tread patterns show significant wear or when you notice a decrease in boot stability while riding.
Troubleshooting
Safety arm feels stiff
Clean the hinge area thoroughly with compressed air or a soft brush to remove compacted dirt or arena footing.
Footbed grip feels worn down
Purchase and install a set of replacement grip inserts to restore the stirrup's original traction levels.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation follows standard saddle procedures; ensure the stirrup leather is threaded through the top eyelet securely. To maintain the safety-release arm, check periodically that the hinge is not clogged with arena sand or grit. Clean using a soft brush and mild soap and water, ensuring the hinge area is rinsed and dried thoroughly. Avoid using heavy lubricants inside the mechanism as they may attract dust and interfere with the spring action. Inspect the grip inserts regularly for wear; if the grip becomes slippery, replace the inserts to maintain maximum boot traction.
