NORTON XTR Safety stirrups

Ensure your safety without sacrificing your sensations in the saddle with this pair of synthetic Norton XTR safety stirrups, designed to accompany you in all equestrian disciplines.

Norton XTR safety stirrups: protection and efficiency in the saddle

The Norton XTR safety stirrups are designed for riders who want a real margin of safety, without making their operation more cumbersome. In concrete terms, for your horse and for you: you keep a stable support, with a system designed to limit the risk of trapped feet in the event of a fall.

The most important thing to look for is the 90° upward opening side arm: if the foot remains engaged at the wrong moment, the stirrup opens to facilitate rapid release. In fact, in the saddle, this is what really makes a difference on the track when it comes to reconciling safety and responsiveness.

Light, stable and comfortable to ride

Their high-grade synthetic aluminum construction provides a good balance between strength and lightness: the stirrup remains pleasant to use on a daily basis, without feeling unnecessarily heavy under the leg. I prefer this type of design when the rider rides often, changes discipline or is looking for equipment that's easy to live with.

With 422 g per stirrup, movement remains more fluid: you feel less inertia in the ankles and knees over a complete session. What the data sheet doesn't say is that a lighter stirrup is less tiring on the leg when you're riding flat, over jumps or working outdoors.

The 6.5 cm wide footbed offers a clearer support surface: the foot settles better and gains in stability. The non-slip sole secures the grip, helping to keep a more fixed leg, even if your horse has bounce or energy.

Stirrups are designed with a left and right side, identified by the letters L and R on the top: the orientation of the foot is more natural. This is preferable if your horse requires precision, as a well-placed support improves the legibility of your aids.

The 3.5 cm stirrup le athers fit most standard stirrup leathers: they are easy to fit and the position of the stirrup under the saddle remains consistent. In other words, you gain compatibility without having to redesign your entire equipment.
