Safety Stirrups

RE: Peacocks Disadvantages: They have a reputation of being only for kids. They are noticeable. Have heard horror stories of getting certain delicate bits caught up while dismounting.

Yup! The ONLY stirrup incident I ever had was dismounting and a peacock catching me high high high up on the inner thigh -ripping an hole in my breaches and almost biblically knowing me.

Great thread! I just ordered a pair of wide (5.25") foot free stirrups to go with my clunky but warm Muck Boot Colt Ryder winter barn boots. Thanks all.
