Description
New premium model of the patented, laterally opening Arena stirrups, completely made of certified high-grade anodized aluminium and fitted with a stainless steel tread. Acavallo has carefully chosen and combined the materials used, following detailed research and comprehensive testing. The aluminium, besides giving the stirrup a sleek and elegant appearance, is lightweight and extremely durable, while the stainless steel protects the tread from corrosion, guaranteeing a long life of the product, too. The opening of the stress-actuated locking and release mechanism is located a centimetre higher from the tread to ensure that the foot cannot slip out laterally by mistake and to prevent sand and dirt from delaying the opening action of the arm in case of an emergency. Long holes in the tread prevent sand and dirt accumulations so that the gripping effect is not compromised and a five degree inclination of the tread helps riders to assume the correct posture, relieving tension in their ankles, calves, knees and hips.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the safety release mechanism on the LeMieux AluPlus Stirrup and how does it work?
The AluPlus features a stress-actuated locking and release mechanism that opens laterally. The opening point is positioned one centimetre higher than the tread, which helps prevent the foot from slipping out sideways accidentally while still allowing the arm to release in an emergency.
Why is the tread made from stainless steel rather than aluminium?
Stainless steel is used specifically for the tread because it resists corrosion, helping to extend the working life of the stirrup even with regular exposure to the elements.
How does the tread design help with grip and posture?
The tread has long holes to prevent sand and dirt from accumulating, which keeps the gripping effect consistent. It is also angled at five degrees to encourage correct rider posture and help relieve tension in the ankles, calves, knees and hips.
What material is the main body of the AluPlus Stirrup made from?
The body is made entirely from certified high-grade anodised aluminium, which gives the stirrup a lightweight and sleek appearance.
Which disciplines is the LeMieux AluPlus Stirrup suited to?
According to the product tags, the AluPlus is listed as suitable for jumping, dressage and eventing.
