The Venice Safety Design originates in a unique mechanism that allows the foot to release in case of need with a minimal force towards the mobile part, which then automatically returns to its original position thanks to an installed spring. The spring installed allows the mobile part to remain closed during use, and to open when needed through a push of the foot. The mobile part is designed to return to its closed position once the foot has exited, so that there is no protruding part that can harm the rider and/ or horse in an event of a fall to the ground. We offer the stirrups on a trial basis, please contact us for further details!
