Acavallo Arena AluPro Safety Stirrup

My previous stirrups were very flexible on the side, which at the time I thought was great. When I switched to these I thought they felt weird at first, but then realized how much more stable I was in the tack! Especially at the canter- my lower leg felt much more secure. I luckily haven't had an opportunity to test them out with a fall, but I feel safer in them, especially now that I am starting to jump. The metal tread was a turn off at first and I was worried it would scratch my saddle (it hasn't). They do collect some arena dirt but I find the brush on my hoof pick is perfect and it just takes a few seconds to clean them off before putting my tack away. Overall super happy. I got them in blue, which is a beautiful contrast on my black horse.

These have made my riding so much more comfortable and enjoyable! The wide base gives more foot support and Added stability. The safety release feature is very important. I simply love these and enjoy my rides in them!

I wasn't sure if these would be as solid as my MDC sturups that I love but they are working out nicely. Not as heavy but just enough weight to keep my heel down and feel secure. Definitely recommend.

I spent several months agonizing over which stirrup was the best for me, 40s returning to riding after a 10 year hiatus, who bought an OTTB. I ultimately picked the acavallo because of the safety features #1, the style, the medium weight, and the price. I picked the titanium color in case I ever decided to take a trip in the hunter ring ( I think it will pass color wise) They were at my door in three days and so far, I love them.

These stirrups are extremely dangerous and they should be recalled from the marketplace asap. I was wearing these stirrups just two days when I was un seated from my horse during a jumping exercise. The safety releases on the side of these stirrups SLICED MY BOOTS IN HALF during my fall - and I was wearing very thick leather all terrain brand new riding boots. There were two trainers in the ring at the time that witnessed this happen. The stirrups literally sliced my thick leather boots in half all the way down to my skin. If I had been wearing ankle paddock boots with half chaps or anything else, the tendons in my ankles would have been severed like spaghetti. I really hope the manufacturer gets a hold of me after they see this review, because I am in shock and terrified that stirrups have the ability to slice your legs open in the event you are unseated.

Muy seguros

Nice grip on feet when posting or cantering. Foot stays in place even when an occasional "bounce" happens. Older rider w/ older horse so probably a good time to take safety more seriously. Havent had to use the safety part yet....let's hope I never find out if that works.

I purchased these because I needed stirrups that would be safe and accommodate my wider insulated winter boots. These stirrups do that. They’re attractive and easy to clean. The dirt falls through the slits, leaving little to brush off. The stirrups were nicely packaged and arrived promptly.
