HIGH PERFORMANCE Thanks to the shock absorber, the stirrup follows the movements of the foot, giving perfect adherence in each phases of the jump. SHOCK ABSORBING Increase ofperformance, reduction of the sensation of fatigue and increase of comfort Venice Light Plus riding stirrups are provided with a revolutionary safety mechanism which allows, in case of need, a section of the ring to open, thus easing the release of the foot; thereafter, the section gets back in its original position thanks to a specific spring. The spring allows the moving part to stay closed during horse riding activities and to open only when a certain pressure is applied. The locking mechanism of the moving part is cushioned by a rubber insert on the ring which allows it to be particularly reactive in case of need.

Suitable for British Eventing. “Venice Light Plus” stirrups are provided with shock absorbers which allow to follow the natural movement of the foot, increasing the performance of the rider and the feeling of comfort during use. The shock absorbers are made of a compound particularly suitable to stress, durable to wear and to high and low temperatures (+80°/-20°). The patented grip has been designed to grant excellent adherence even in case of quick movements, which do not get restrained, thanks to the lightness of the stirrup. Venice Plus stirrups have been designed with a 3° slope tread. The stirrup leather loop itself has been conceived so to keep the stirrup in a position able to simplify foot repositioning in case of grip loss. The stirrups do not need special leathers. Classic stirrup leathers can be used.
