This style of stirrup may also
be referred to as a German or
Heavy Dressage Iron, or Knife
Edge Iron. It is similar to
the regular 2 bar stirrup, but
has a much heavier base and
tall, streamlined sides. The
extra weight makes it
particularly popular/suited
for Dressage, where the
stirrups should be as still as
possible, but it is also
suited to other types of
competition riding.
To correctly gaugue the
correct stirrup size, the
rider should place the ball of
their foot on the stirrup
bars, close to the inside,
leaving a space of 25mm (1")
to the outside.
Additional grip may be offered
through the use of rubber
treads that can be fitted to
the stirrup - available for
separate purchase in
White Only.
