I’ve had my Ontyte’s for 7 years, and I’ve ridden in the hunters without issue.
I don’t compete in dressage so I’m not 100% sure of those rules.
Lorenzini stirrups. Impossible to lose and so comfortable. They feel weird the first time, but after a few days it’s hard to go back to anything else
Unpopular opinion, but I hate the FreeJumps. They are too light, they feel “bouncy”, and my leg doesn’t feel secure in them. I have also had them get “stuck” to my feet while dismounting (can’t kick my feet out) and this worries me. Not a huge fan of the MDC either- the footbed on mine is too wide and makes them feel awkward and clunky. I now ride in Amerigo irons which are very similar to the Jins and I love them. Secure, comfortable, and offset just enough that they don’t bother my knees. They are by far my favorites.
