FreeJump Stirrups Soft Up Pro Plus
FreeJump Stirrups were the original innovation of the first horse riding safety stirrups. Designed with a safety in mind, the Freejump Soft’Up Pro Plus Stirrups use a flexible single outer branch that helps the foot release in the event of a fall.
All though many customers will not be aware, this range of Freejump Stirrups have a degree of shock absorption. With up to 9mm of flexion on the inside branch, the rider feels an unrivalled comfort when riding in the Freejump Soft Up Pro Stirrups. That’s why 7 of the top 10 showjumpers in the world chose Freejump.
Why are FreeJump Stirrups so good? What do Freejump Stirrups do?
Firstly we believe the Freejump Stirrups are good because of how they help the rider and also the horse. As mentioned above, the stirrups have a flexible outer branch made of Elastollan®. This helps to free the foot in the event of a fall.
Secondly, the stirrups flex at the lower inside bend of the stirrups. As a result, not only do the stirrups absorb the shockwaves travelling into riders ankles and knees, but also and more importantly reduces the shock travelling across the horses back.
This has proven to be very popular with riders that include amateur and professional levels.
Thirdly. This latest edition with the extra wide foot plate and raised pins gives riders an unbelievable grip. With eight metal studs for extra grip positioned cleverly along the tread, therefore gives the foot a better non slip position, again helping the rider with his or her overall riding.
Finally. The angle and position of the stirrup eye, means that if a rider should lose their stirrups when riding, the stirrups naturally fall back into an lateral position, allowing the rider to their foot back in the stirrup.
Do I need to use the Freejump Stirrup Leathers?
No. The Stirrups can be used with any normal classic stirrup leather. It is not necessary to use the Freejump leathers, although they do have some benefits. The Soft Up Pro Grip Stirrup leathers make it easy to remove your stirrups after riding or many riders will purchase the Stirrup Pockets.
Can Freejump Soft’Up Pro Plus Stirrups be used for Dressage?
Yes, when we last reviewed the rules in 2022, Freejump stirrups are still British Dressage Legal. We would advise you using the colours Black or Silver and if you are concerned please refer to your rule book.
Why are Freejump Stirrups so expensive?
Freejump stirrups are not as expensive as you think when compared to other brands on the market with similar design concepts. We believe that the stirrups are more advanced than many other stirrups on the market. As a result, just the cost of producing innovative products will cost more than some of the more basic stirrups you see today.
