S-Mini Stirrups

S-MINI
For our youngest riders

S-Mini, the safety stirrup designed especially for our youngest riders. From their first time in the saddle up to the age of 11/12, who want to explore the fantastic world of riding.

The space between the footbed and the safety arch is smaller, thus designed to accommodate a smaller foot.

Weighing only 430 grams with a structure of light ANTICORODAL aluminium alloy but still ensuring comfort, strength and the 360° safety release system as all the other stirrup models.

The S-Mini is available in four colours - Blue Lagoon, Green Forest, Red Berry and Picasso Lily - and is customizable thanks to a series of colourful, fun and glamorous clips.

• The outer branch of the stirrups swivels 360° in all directions for a stirrup that is 100% safe no matter in which direction you fall.
• DESIGN
• The stirrups are designed with a 45° curve which provides maximum comfort to your horse as the stirrups lie ergonomically alongside the horses body – this provides easier contact with the horse without it being uncomfortable or digging into the horse and allows the rider to ride in the position best suited to their own personal riding style.
• WEIGHT
• The weight of the stirrup keeps the stirrup in the optimal riding position, making the stirrup difficult to lose but easy to retrieve in the event that you do lose them.
• WIDE FOOT PLATE AND FIXED GRIP SYSTEM
• The wider foot plate and fixed grip system, while being very comfortable, gives stability and support especially when jumping the higher jumps. It is easier to maintain the correct foot position which helps to stabilise the rider’s lower legs while riding.
• SAFETY RELEASE SYSTEM
• The most important part is the stirrup arm/branch which will open completely no matter how the rider falls (forwards, backwards or sideways) giving peace of mind and confidence to compete and always give of their best.
• The stirrups are sleek, elegant and beautiful with a wide range of clip customisation options to suit every rider and make their stirrups as unique as they are.

The S-mini’s are only recommended for children up to the age of 11/12 years of age. With the differences being so slight, I recommend the S-Light to my younger clients as they will last longer. My children clients are riding predominantly in the S-light model but I do also have children riding in the S1 and S2 models with no problem whatsoever. The stirrups will release no matter the size of the rider.

• Both the S1 AND S2 SAFE RIDING STIRRUP models have shock absorbers and after about 2 years of use (specifically jumping) your stirrups (especially the shock absorbers) may require a service – to check the wear on the springs, to clean the rolling grip system and ensure that there is not a build up of sand/dust inside the stirrup which could affect the spring/safety release mechanism of the of the stirrup
• The S-LIGHT STIRRUPS should also be serviced to ensure that there is not a build up of sand/dust inside the stirrup which could affect the spring/safety release mechanism of the stirrup
• Safety First Equestrian offers this service to our clients at a minimal fee (excluding replacement parts & courier fees if meeded)
• Keeping your stirrups clean and servicing them when necessary is recommended
