2005 Horse Journal Product of the Year!
A first in modern stirrup technology, MDC Intelligent irons enable the rider to customize the settings on each stirrup based on their comfort, conformation, and riding application. Discover the comfort and safety you've been looking for! Please note, per the manufacturer, "MDC Intelligent Stirrups will perform at their best when partnered with a new pair of leathers. Old leathers have a slight turn to them and this will affect the accuracy of the 45 degree and 90 degree settings."
Intelligent Stirrups feature:
- Comfort: Releases pressure on your ankles, knees, and hips
- Easily Retrievable allowing you to ride at an optimal level
- Safety: reduction of the irons natural desire to grab the foot
- Adjustable angles to complement each side of your body separately
- Preset angles that tend to stay in place should you lose your irons
- Easy access to the offside iron when mounting
- Ergonomic design that works with your body and not against it!
- Available in 2 styles: traditional solid foot plate (Comfort) or hinged design (Ultimate)
- Under normal riding conditions, MDC Intelligent Stirrups will not turn. They have been designed to require positive pressure from above and below to turn the mechanism. With only the stirrup leather above the iron, there is no focus point to apply pressure to allow the stirrup to turn.
Sizing Note: MDC Ultimate Intelligent Stirrups are true to size. There is no need to order a size up to compensate for the rubber sleeves.
