Product Information
Full details
The Freejump Soft Up Lite Stirrups in Brown are designed for young riders and those with smaller boot sizes (up to UK 6 / EU 39), offering enhanced safety, exceptional comfort, and superior shock absorption. They feature a unique single-branch technology that reduces rider effort and eases strain on joints and the horse's back, making them ideal for both competition and daily use. A potential consideration is that custom pins are sold separately and not included with the standard stirrups.

FAQs
What is the main benefit of the single-branch technology?
The single-branch technology acts as a suspension system, reducing the effort required by one-third, which eases pressure on the rider's joints and the horse's back, leading to increased comfort.
Are the custom pins included with the stirrups?
No, customised pins are sold separately and are not included with the standard Freejump Soft Up Lite Stirrups.
What boot sizes are these stirrups suitable for?
These stirrups are designed for young riders or those wearing up to a UK size 6 / EU size 39 riding boot.
How does the safety feature work in case of a fall?
The outer branch is made from flexible Elastollan, which is designed to deform and open during a fall, making it easier for the rider's foot to release from the stirrup.
Can these stirrups be used for competition?
Yes, they are ideal for competition as well as everyday use, offering enhanced safety, grip, and comfort.
How do I clean and maintain my stirrups?
Wipe with a damp cloth after use. Periodically check for wear and avoid harsh cleaning chemicals.
Does the stirrup design help with rider posture?
Yes, the eye is positioned ahead of the stirrup floor to shift the center of gravity and encourage a natural heel drop, which aids in achieving a balanced lower leg position.
Troubleshooting
Stirrup feels stiff or difficult to mount
Ensure the stirrup eye is correctly oriented and free from debris. The 45-degree angle is designed for easy mounting; check that the stirrup leather isn't twisted.
Foot slipping within the stirrup
Clean the stirrup floor to ensure the raised studs are free of mud or grease. Verify that your riding boots have adequate tread.
Difficulty releasing foot in an emergency
Ensure the flexible outer Elastollan branch is functioning correctly and not obstructed. Familiarise yourself with the stirrup's release mechanism through practice in a safe environment.
Visible wear on the flexible outer branch
Inspect the outer branch regularly. If significant deformation or damage is noted, consider replacing the stirrups for safety.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:
- These stirrups are designed for riders wearing up to a UK size 6 / EU size 39 riding boot.
- Compatible with standard stirrup leathers. Customised pins are sold separately and are not required for basic function.
Care:

- Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the materials. A mild soap and water solution is generally sufficient for cleaning.
