Q. Are Sprenger stirrups good?
Our favorite safety stirrups are the Sprenger 4-F System. They give in four directions and are comfortable, both for jumping and on long rides. But we believe the best choice for many people will be the Korsteel Double-Jointed Stirrups.

Q. Which way round should Sprenger Bow Balance stirrups go?
As long as they curve forward, they are the right way round ( and they are left and right as moarked of course!). That way your foot will fall out in an accident. Hope that helps!

Well-Known Member. We have sprengers. They are measured from inside shank to inside shank so appear to come up smaller than a “standard” stirrup which is measured along the base.
Q. What are Flexi stirrups?

In dressage, you can use any stirrups that don’t aid you in a specific way. For instance, as per FEI dressage regulations, magnetic safety stirrups are not allowed. However, you can use other kinds of quick release stirrups, such as Freejump stirrups, curved side stirrups, covered toe stirrups and so on.

Not a real safety stirrup. Flex joints are fairly hard, which doesn’t guarantee that your foot will release in case of an accident.

Q. Why are bow balance stirrups made out of rubber?

Q. What kind of coating is on Sprenger stirrups?
Sprenger’s jointed stirrups have a Special developed “System 4” joint which is coated with a protective rubber layer. The rubber coat stabilizes the moveable part of the stirrup and protects the joint from dirt, sand and humidity. Please also regularly check the condition of the stirrups and the rubber coating.
Q. What should I use to clean my bow balance stirrups?
When needed also use the Diamond Paste to bring the shine back to the metal. A soft cloth and when necessary a bit of water are perfectly good for cleaning our anthrazite and bronze coloured stirrups and spurs. The stirrup pads can easily be cleaned with a grooming brush after riding.
