The LeMieux Vector Balance Stirrup combines advanced safety technology, lightweight performance, and classic equestrian styling in a technically sophisticated design. Precision machined from aviation-grade aluminum, these stirrups deliver an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio while remaining impressively lightweight at just 419g each without compromising stability or durability. Designed to support optimal rider position, the ergonomic footplate is angled at 5° and features a cross-track grip surface with hardened steel pins to encourage lower leg stability and help maintain proper heel position. The twin-balance arch system evenly distributes rider weight across the stirrup base, while the recessed offset apex naturally encourages correct foot orientation and easier stirrup recovery. An integrated hinged safety arm incorporates a two-stage release system designed to help minimize the risk of dragging in the event of a fall. The spring-loaded arm remains secure under normal riding pressure but releases when sufficient lateral pressure is applied. Competition legal for FEI, British Dressage, British Eventing, and British Showjumping.
