Curious as there is only 2 color options on these…black & silver with black safety branch.
would they be allowed for Equitation???
rules forbidding Black stirrups…anyone have experience to this?
I have no experience with these stirrups, mine are the normal Jinns and I do the jumpers, but I believe they changed this USEF rule.
The outer part must be silver, I believe. The FreeJumps with the silver are allowed in the equitation, so maybe use those as a point of reference.
USEF Rulebook states this:
“When showing in the Hunter/Jumping Seat Equitation section it is recommended that riders use traditional stainless steel stirrup irons that promote proper position of the foot in the iron as well as a correct leg position. It is further recommended that riders use stirrup irons that allow judges a clear and unobstructed view of the position of the foot in the stirrup. Judges may not eliminate a rider for using a particular style of stirrup iron.”

My trainer has always made us use silver stirrup irons in the equitation, and had a few of the jumper riders’ change theirs out in order to be more toned down when they showed in the eq. That’s just my experience though! 
Yes, we now cannot eliminate you for using non traditional stirrups but it is not recommended.
