The LeMieux Vector stirrups are a new generation of safety stirrup; technically advanced and lightweight but retaining a classic style expected from LeMieux. Machined from aviation grade aluminium offers an impressive strength to weight ratio making them lighter than most stirrups on the market at just 372g whilst not compromising on stability. The ergonomic footplate of the Control Stirrup is set at 0 degrees with a cross-track grip surface with embedded hardened steel pins to provide maximum security of the boot. The footplate is supported by a twin balance arch balance system that distributes the weight evenly across the base of the stirrup frame. The apex of the frame is recessed and off-set encouraging a 45 degree outward orientation which makes it easier for the rider to locate the optimum angle for and regain a lost stirrup. An integrated safety arm has a two-stage release system preventing unintentional opening. The spring loaded safety arm locks into the base of the main frame meaning that when under pressure such as landing over a fence the riders weight is spread evenly across the stirrup preventing the outside dropping and flexing. When pressure is put onto the arm of the stirrup such as if the rider falls the arm releases allowing the foot to come out of the stirrup and preventing it getting stuck. It is important to note that no stirrup of this design with a quick release arm is 100% guaranteed to open in the event of a fall. There are several factors such as a fall of the horse a loose girth causing saddle to slip and a slow or unusual angle of exit that may not generate enough lateral force to open the release arm. This is very rare but users must be aware that no stirrup is completely fool proof in every eventuality. Competition LegalFEI British Dressage British Evening and British Showjumping.
