Effectiveness of magnetic stirrups in horse shows and simple training

A horse has been a faithful friend and partner to man for many centuries and, it would seem, for such a long period of time, everything that makes this cooperation convenient for both is invented, tested and does not require changes. But this, of course, is not so – progress does not stand still, and with the advent of new technologies in our time, even those things that have remained unchanged for centuries are being improved.

Many equestrian beginners believe that safety stirrups do not need to be given due attention, because this thing is small and invisible, but they are wrong. It is important to remember that well-chosen stirrups will not only add comfort, but will also provide joint support and safety for the rider.

Today the market is replete with various types of stirrups – from classical to modern high-tech. In addition to their primary function as a fulcrum, stirrups can also provide safety for the rider, absorb shocks and impacts, relieve stress on joints, influence the rider’s biomechanics, and help keep the leg in the correct position for precise and precise commands. Think about magnetic safety stirrups. This is the guarantee of your safety and reliability of the equipment and good results.

 Discipline, level of training and the country in which you are competing are very important factors. Ophena Magnetic Safety Stirrups have been approved for eg FEI competitions , but you should check with your Equestrian Federation in advance. But it is worth knowing that today magnetic safety stirrups are not permitted for dressage (except for para dressage).

As equestrian federations are focused on safety, magnetic safety stirrups are generally approved for show jumping and eventing.
