If the rider's foot becomes wedged in the stirrup during a fall, the stirrup detaches from the clip once it reaches a certain angle, allowing the rider to separate from the horse.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt is best for riders who want an added layer of security with the stirrups they already own — whether schooling, hacking, riding young or green horses, or teaching in a riding school setting. Compared with buying a complete safety stirrup, the clip is a lower-cost way to add a release function to conventional irons and leathers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAngle-activated release:\u003c\/strong\u003e the stirrup and clip detach once the stirrup reaches a set angle.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelps prevent dragging:\u003c\/strong\u003e designed to separate rider from horse if a foot becomes trapped in a fall.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKeeps your own stirrups:\u003c\/strong\u003e works with conventional stirrup irons and leathers.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnchanged riding feel:\u003c\/strong\u003e no need to alter stirrup length or leg position.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClear assembly instructions:\u003c\/strong\u003e supplied with the product and must be followed carefully.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEveryday use:\u003c\/strong\u003e suitable for flatwork, hacking and general yard riding.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWaldhausen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStirrup safety clip \/ release device\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFunction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStirrup detaches from clip at a certain angle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFits\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConventional stirrup leathers and stirrup irons\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFitting\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAssembly instructions supplied — follow carefully\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCare\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWipe clean, dry naturally, store dry\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCountry of origin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChina\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e \u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eRead the supplied assembly instructions in full before fitting anything to your saddle.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRemove the stirrup leathers from the saddle and take the stirrup irons off the leathers.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAttach the safety clip to the leather and the stirrup iron in the orientation shown in the instructions.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRepeat on the second side, checking both clips are fitted identically.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRefit the leathers to the stirrup bars and check the clips move freely and sit square.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eInspect the clips, leathers and irons as part of your pre-ride tack check before every ride.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eBrowse more rider safety equipment and saddle accessories in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/stirrups\"\u003estirrups collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the Waldhausen Stirrup Safety Clip work?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe clip sits between the stirrup leather and the stirrup iron.
