Product Details

Vector stirrups are a new generation of stirrup - technically advanced and lightweight, but retaining a classic style expected from LeMieux.

Machined from aviation grade aluminium offers an impressive strength-to-weight ratio, making them lighter than most stirrups on the market at just 419g each, whilst not compromising on stability.

The ergonomic footplate of the Control Stirrup is set at 0° with a cross-track grip surface with embedded hardened steel pins to provide maximum security for the boot.

The footplate is supported by a twin-balance arch system that distributes the weight evenly across the base of the stirrup frame. The apex of the frame is recessed and off-set, encouraging a 45° outward orientation which makes it easier for the rider to locate the optimum angle for the foot and regain a lost stirrup.

An integrated hinged arm has a two-stage release system, preventing unintentional opening. The spring-loaded arm locks into the base of the main frame meaning that when under maximum pressure, such as landing over a fence, the rider's weight is spread evenly across the stirrup, preventing the outside from dropping and flexing. When pressure is put onto the arm of the stirrup, the arm releases allowing the foot to come out of the stirrup, minimising the risk of dragging. The stirrup arm breakout force = 36N (equivalent to 3.62kg) in testing, meaning enough resistance to stop it from opening unintentionally, but will release when needed.

It's important to note that no stirrup of this design (with a quick-release arm) is 100% guaranteed to open in the event of a fall. There are several factors, including a fall of the horse, a loose girth causing the saddle to slip, or a slow or unusual angle of exit that may not generate enough lateral force to open the release arm. This is very rare but users must be aware that no stirrup is completely foolproof in every eventuality.

Stirrups should be of the correct size to suit the rider’s boots. We highly recommend ensuring a minimum of a 10mm (approximately 3/8") gap between the stirrup and the widest part of the foot on each side.

45 Degree Apex

Ergonomic Footplate

The footplate is set at a 0 degree angle to provide the rider with a level surface for stability.

Twin balance Arch System

This system distributes the weight evenly across the base of the stirrup frame, creating a stable platform for the riders foot.

Two Stage Release System

When pressure is directly applied to the integrated hinged arm, it releases allowing the foot to leave the stirrup.

Cross-track Grip

With embedded hardened steel pins, the cross-track grip provides maximum security of the boot.

45 Degree Apex

The apex of the stirrup frame is recessed and off-set, encouraging a 45 degree outward orientation. This which makes it easier for the rider to locate the optimum angle for the foot and regain a lost stirrup.
