Jointed Stirrup
English Riders!- Do You Like Jointed, Light Weight, Or Traditional Stirrup Irons?
I'm having to order new stirrup irons, and I was thinking how there are so many different types of stirrup irons nowadays!- Which are your favorite? Why?
People claim that the jointed irons help with joint pain, but have they helped you? Or is it just the wider tread? And then there's people like George Morris who don't like the jointed stirrups and claim that they have broken. Haha.
Have you had any experience with the light weight stirrup irons? Such as those by Prestige, Royal Rider, Equipe, etc.? Can you see much of a difference from traditional irons?
I use the jointed ones for my jumping saddle, but to be honest I don't find a noticeable difference between them and my regular irons that I have with my dressage saddle. I have bad joints (knees and ankles) and I personally can't tell the difference. I just use the jointed ones for safety (as opposed to a peacock stirrup). They are not the ones that rotate the leg, they are simply the ones with the rubber covered links on the sides.
I also really don't like the jointed stirrups that are meant to rotate and 'place' your leg in the correct position- I've heard of people breaking their ankles because of them, probably because they are relying on the stirrups to place their leg instead of learning how to do it themselves.
