Rid'Up Fun Safety Stirrups with Elastomer Sole
Description
Rid'Up Safety Stirrup Fun - Patented Automatic Release Safety Stirrups
The Rid'Up Safety Stirrup Fun is a pair of safety stirrups built around a patented "Look" automatic snatching system, engineered to release the rider's foot in the event of a fall. They are best for riders who want everyday safety for schooling, hacking and jumping, and they suit adults and younger riders alike because there is no minimum rider weight or shoe size.
Made from polyamide with fibres and fitted with an Ixef buckle, each stirrup weighs 440 grams and has a 12cm interior floor width, a damped floor with an elastomer sole and two rows of steel cleats for grip. You can see more options in our stirrups collection.

How to Use
- Thread your stirrup leathers through the stirrup eye, checking the orientation so the leather lies flat against the saddle flap.
- Run the stirrups up the leathers when mounting and dismounting, then let them down and adjust to your usual riding length.
- Place the ball of the foot on the elastomer sole, with a small amount of clearance either side of the boot within the 12cm floor width.
- Check the release mechanism and buckle move freely before every ride.
- Wipe clean after use, dry naturally away from direct heat and inspect regularly for wear.
FAQ
How do Rid'Up Fun safety stirrups work?
They use a patented "Look" automatic safety snatching system, which is designed to release the rider's foot from the stirrup in the event of a fall rather than allowing it to remain trapped.
What size are these stirrups?
The interior floor width is 12cm. There is no minimum rider weight or shoe size, so they can be used by adults and younger riders. Check your riding boot sits within the tread with a little clearance either side.
How much does each stirrup weigh?
Each stirrup weighs 440 grams.
What are they made from?
The body is polyamide with fibres and the articulated buckle is Ixef. The floor is damped with an elastomer sole and fitted with two rows of steel cleats.
Are they suitable for jumping and hacking?
Yes. The articulated buckle helps damp the horse's movement and the steel cleats give grip, which suits flatwork, hacking and jumping.
How do I care for them?
Wipe clean after use and dry naturally away from direct heat. Inspect the release mechanism, buckle and leathers regularly and replace any stirrup that is damaged or has been involved in an impact.
