This style of stirrup is popular for stock riding. The four bar design creates an extra wide tread - more comfortable when spending long hours in the saddle.
I thought this might be too thick when it arrived, but it isn't and it works really well. The waffle structure allows it to move with the horses movement, it stays where it's supposed to and does what it's supposed to do.
Had it for a few rides before I realised you are supposed to cut out the section over the withers. It's been much easier to site correctly since then.
This is my fourth Tipperary helmet, safe to say i love them, they are lite, great ventilation and the shape perfectly fits my head for a snug fit that wont wobble or move down over my eyes while i am riding or choke me under my chin. And we cant forget the amazing color options that tick my matchy matchy obsession.
