Description

The LeMieux Vector Balance Stirrup is a technically advanced, lightweight stirrup machined from aviation grade aluminium, offering an impressive strength-to-weight ratio at just 419g each. Designed with a classic LeMieux aesthetic, it combines ergonomic engineering with safety features suited to jumping and flatwork.

  • Machined from aviation grade aluminium for a lightweight build at just 419g each
  • Ergonomic footplate set at 5 degrees with a cross-track grip surface
  • Footplate mounted on an impact-absorbing cushion layer of dynamic polymer with a 70% compression rating
  • Absorbs impact and vibrations at the point of landing, reducing fatigue to the knee and ankle and lowering stress on leg muscles and tendons
  • Embedded hardened steel pins provide maximum security of the boot
  • Twin balance arch system distributes weight evenly across the base of the stirrup frame
  • Recessed and off-set apex encourages a 45° outward orientation, helping the rider locate the optimum foot angle and regain a lost stirrup
  • Integrated hinged arm with a two-stage release system prevents unintentional opening
  • Spring-loaded arm locks into the base of the main frame, spreading the rider's weight evenly under maximum pressure such as landing over a fence
  • Stirrup arm breakout force = 36N (equivalent to 3.62kg) in testing - enough resistance to prevent unintentional opening whilst releasing when needed
  • Important: no stirrup with a quick-release arm is guaranteed to open in every fall scenario; factors such as a horse fall, saddle slip, or unusual exit angle may not generate sufficient lateral force to open the release arm
  • Competition Legal: FEI, British Dressage, British Eventing and British Showjumping

Colour: Black, Auburn, Aluminium, Black/Aluminium, Carbon, Carbon/Silver, Rose Gold, Navy

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the LeMieux Vector Balance Stirrup weigh?
Each LeMieux Vector Balance Stirrup weighs 419g, achieved through machining from aviation grade aluminium.
What is the footplate angle and grip surface on the Vector Balance Stirrup?
The footplate is set at 5 degrees and features a cross-track grip surface. It is mounted on a dynamic polymer cushion layer with a 70% compression rating to absorb impact and vibrations.
How does the quick-release arm on the Vector Balance Stirrup work?
The integrated hinged arm uses a two-stage release system to prevent unintentional opening. The breakout force is 36N (equivalent to 3.62kg) in testing. When sufficient lateral pressure is applied, the arm releases to allow the foot to exit. However, LeMieux note that no quick-release stirrup is guaranteed to open in every fall scenario - factors such as a horse fall, saddle slip, or an unusual angle of exit may not generate enough force to trigger the release.
Is the LeMieux Vector Balance Stirrup competition legal?
Yes. The Vector Balance Stirrup is approved for use under FEI, British Dressage, British Eventing, and British Showjumping rules.
What colours are available for the LeMieux Vector Balance Stirrup?
