Breakaway Stirrups Black Heavy

The Escape Breakaway Stirrups provide an effective, affordable stirrup for Western or English saddles. The breakaway stirrup is designed to release when pressure is applied laterally, helping to prevent the rider from being dragged after falling from the horse. The middle bar is designed not to release unless the toe of the foot is pointed upwards, as it does when a rider falls from the horse, hooks the bar, and applies lateral pressure. The inner bar will then release, freeing the foot from the stirrup. Fits up to 3" wide stirrup leathers. Specify Tension Strength: Light (50-80 lb. rider weight), Medium (80-140 lb. rider weight), or Heavy (140-220 lb. rider weight). Specify Color: Black or Brown.
