Frequently Asked Questions

Where and how are the strirrups manufactured?

ISO 9001 is an internationally recognised standard for quality management systems. This means that the products produced by our manufacturer in Cape Town are of a high quality on an international standard. 

How does the Safety Stirrup work?

Safety Stirrups are manufactured from Aerospace graded aluminium with a quick-release hinged branch which is activated via a UV resistant O-ring and acts as a "break-away" in the event of a fall.

The branch profile is situated 2cm above the tread to ensure the foot cannot slip out, however, when put under maximum pressure in the event of a fall, the catch arm releases, allowing the foot to come out of the stirrup, preventing the foot to get stuck.

Our safety stirrups are designed with a simple mechanical system in mind, alleviating the problem of dirt getting trapped in the release mechanism. This also means less maintenance required. 

How do I clean my Stirrups?

Simply use hot water, scrubbing brush and dishwashing liquid. Rinse properly afterwards and let dry.

Are the stirrups durable and rustproof?

The TG Equestrian Classic Stirrups are made from areospace-grade aluminium 6082 and 7075. The additional traction grip spikes, joining bolts and TG pins are made from stainless steel. This prevents rust and wear. 

My Stirrup O-rings are worn. Can I get replacement O-rings?

The TG Equestrian Safety Stirrup break away band is an O-Ring made fromViton. Viton is a high quality material known for its durability. Made from UV resistant material which prevents the O-Ring from becoming brittle and deteriorating over time. You can order new o-rings - just send as an email and we will be in touch.

    "I have recently received my second pair of these. I love that I am able to customise to show my colours and overall type and design preference. The classic wide tread is the only stirrup that does not aggregate my old ankle injury. Perfect balance and support, comfort and style all in one."
