Description
Equi-Sential Peacock Rings & Leathers Prepacked Set
The Equi-Sential Peacock Rings & Leathers Prepacked is a set of replacement rubber rings and leather retaining tabs for peacock safety stirrup irons. It is best for riders, parents and riding schools who need to renew the perished rubber ring or worn leather tab on an existing pair of safety irons rather than buy new stirrups.
The rubber ring and leather tab are the parts that let a peacock iron release the foot, so they are the first components to wear. Keeping a prepacked spare set on the yard means a split ring never costs you a lesson or a show class.
Key Features
- Replacement spares: rubber peacock rings with matching leather retaining tabs
- Prepacked: supplied ready packed as a set for easy storage in a tack box
- For peacock safety irons: renews the wearing parts on open-sided safety stirrups

How to Use
- Remove the old rubber ring and leather tab from the peacock iron and discard them.
- Check the new parts against the iron for size and fit before assembly.
- Thread the leather tab through the slot at the top of the outer branch.
- Hook the rubber ring onto the lower peg and secure it to the leather tab so it sits under light tension.
- Check the ring releases cleanly under sideways pressure, then repeat on the second iron.
- Inspect both irons before each ride and renew the rubber as soon as it cracks or stretches.

FAQ
What are peacock rings and leathers used for?
They are the replacement rubber ring and leather retaining tab fitted to the open outer branch of a peacock safety stirrup iron. The ring holds the branch closed in normal use and releases if the foot is caught.
Will these fit my peacock irons?
Peacock irons are made in several sizes, so measure your existing iron and compare the ring and tab before fitting. If the ring sits slack or has to be over-stretched, it is the wrong size for your iron.
How often should the rubber rings be replaced?
Renew them as soon as the rubber shows cracking, thinning, stretching or splitting. Rubber perishes with sunlight, cold and saddle soap, so inspect them regularly and replace after any impact or fall.
Is this a complete pair of stirrups?
No. This is a prepacked set of spare rings and leathers only. The stirrup irons themselves are not included.
How do I care for the leather tabs?
Wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to dry naturally away from direct heat. A light application of leather conditioner keeps the tab supple.
Who are peacock irons suitable for?
They are commonly chosen for children and novice riders, though any rider can use them. If you are unsure whether your irons are correctly assembled, ask a saddler or qualified instructor to check them.
