<\/a> form of stirrups was made for everyone from young amateur riders, to Olympic riders. The problem that this innovation came to solve was that many riders had a fear of losing their stirrups while riding especially during the competition, and this in turn can affect the rider\u2019s performance.\u00a0 The Magnetic stirrup provided an insurance that such incidents will not happen. Not only so but it helps balance the rider on his horse and this creates rhythm and makes the rider have a better feel and always be with his horse. And it give the riders confidence because the rider knows that his stirrups will not be lost, and this can give him a greater insurance and feel of safety while riding, as well as give him a better and bigger chance to take risks while in the show.<\/p>\n\n
How the stirrups work: The magnetic stirrups system is not sold alone. The stirrups are sold with their matching pairs of boots. Together the stirrups and the boots work and both are magnetized to provide the safety and insurance needed by the rider. The magnet is located on the stirrup in the area where the boot sits. A corresponding metal is placed on the sole of the boot so that it is automatically attracted when the rider inserts his legs into the stirrup. With precise engineering, the magnets and the metals are strong enough to ensure that your leg does not slip while riding, yet at the same time make it easy to release when it is time for you to go off your horse or in times of an accident or emergency.<\/p>\n Benefits of the Magnetic stirrup:<\/p>\n To provide the safety needed and comfort of fitting your foot into the stirrups while riding, but at the same time make it easy to release in case of a fall or emergency.<\/p>\n Providing better control while riding and this is done by ensuring that your foot is placed properly into the stirrups, and this improves both body and leg positions, therefore enhancing the rider, and the horse\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n Provide the best contact between the horse and rider by ensuring correct leg position.
