Flex-on’s technology, fundamental to all their stirrups, relies on three pillars: 1. SHOCK ABSORPTION SYSTEM: Flex-on stirrups system uses elastomer shock absorbers with a wide footbed, which cushions the shock-waves from the horse’s movement, helping the rider’s stability and reducing joint stress accross all the equestrian disciplines. Advantages: This technology maximises comfort and preserves the rider’s position and physique.The shock absorption reduces muscle work and chronic pain (adductors, ankles, knees, back). This technology was demonstrated by bio-mechanical studies carried out by an independent sport laboratory. 2. STIRRUP PLACEMENT: The stirrup frame has an offset, skewed slot.for the stirrup leather, giving the rider optimum contact with the horse, while the variety of angled footbeds helps to achieve a correct leg position in any discipline. Advantages: The instant the rider puts on the stirrups, they position themselves perfectly which leads to an immediate connection to the horse. As a result, the stirrup is found more easily. Moreover, the angle of the footbed reduces strain on the joints and muscles in the ankles. 3. STIRRUPS ERGONOMICS: The dimensions of the Flex-on stirrup enables to achieve a perfect alignment for an optimal position of the rider (shoulders-hips-heels). The angle of its inclined footbed promotes a natural descent of the heel.NB: The flat footbed would be recommended for a rider with hyperlaxed ankles.Advantages: The rider’s posture is automatically and perfectly adjusted and each point of support is optimized. The rider’s foot stays in place and fatigue is reduced, thereby encouraging precision. THESE STIRRUPS ARE PRE-OWNED. USED FOR ONLY 3 RIDES.
