This
revolutionary concept; the 'SmartRider'
Safety Stirrup, has been years in the making.
Every detail was checked and double-checked by
engineers to ensure that the stirrup was safe,
effective and affordable.
SmartRider engineers
have certainly achieved their aims in all three
aspects. The 'SmartRider' Safety Stirrup
has been tested in accordance with international
standards by the "TUV-testing facility in
Munich".
The Aim of
SmartRider is To Reduce Death Or
Injury From Equestrian
Mishaps
This
Stirrup is made of 316 Marine Grade
Stainless Steel, which virtually
eliminates the risk of rusting or
general corrosion. With normal
Stirrups, when a rider is thrown, the
foot can become trapped. With the
SmartRider Safety Stirrup the inner bar
is released freeing the rider.
There are many advantages to this
stirrup. Firstly and most importantly,
it's safety aspect. There are also the
financial benefits. This unique piece
of equipment can be purchased for less
than a proper pair of riding boots.
Because any fall will result in the
device opening when pressure is placed
on the middle bar, any type of
footwear can be used while riding.
While
it is advisable to wear the correct
type of boots, the SmartRider Safety
Stirrup means that even runners can be
worn.
Which
means everyone can enjoy safe
horse and pony riding at your
pony club.
There is an obvious question.
What's to stop the stirrup
from opening under normal
conditions? Well, any pressure
at all can be applied to the
footplate, but the inner bar
will only trigger the release
mechanism when the foot is
placed in a position of
danger. That is when the rider
is falling and the toe of the
foot is pointed skywards.
The SmartRider Safety Stirrup
won't stop you from falling,
but it will allow you to enjoy
the freedom of horse riding
with the knowledge that if you
do part company with the
horse, you'll do just that.
Kenric
and Elizabeth Head of
Toowoomba, Qld., winners of
many competitions and
interstate championships, have
used "SmartRider"
stirrups for many years. In
their own words they say
"We always use
"SmartRider" stirrups
for their obvious safety
standards, the quality of
workmanship and the peace of
mind they give to the riders'
and their parents. The
stirrups have been used
successfully in some very
demanding competitions."
