StirrupS<br />

SprENGEr offers highest quality.<br />

SPRENGER <strong>stirrups</strong> are subjected to the highest<br />

quality standards. Extensive tests are therefore<br />

carried out before a product is introduced to the<br />

market.<br />

Quality checks – like pulling tests – are standardised<br />

with machines in our premises. Sprenger contacted<br />

the Institute for Research and Development<br />

(FES) in Berlin for the first time more than 20 years<br />

ago to obtain the most exact knowledge of the<br />

forces which are effectively at work during riding<br />

for developing new <strong>stirrups</strong>. Substantial research<br />

has been done. Stirrups were prepared with<br />

special strain gauges which transmitted the<br />

tensile momentums via radio. Tests were then<br />

made on a military terrain under competition<br />

conditions.<br />

It turned out that forces can occur in the stirrup<br />

which can equal up to tripled bodyweight. However,<br />

the experience of many years has shown that<br />

even <strong>stirrups</strong> with a breaking strength of 600 kg<br />

can break. Therefore, SPRENGER only offers the<br />

highest quality to guarantee optimal security. Our<br />

safety standard for <strong>stirrups</strong> is a breaking strength<br />

of 800 kg (exception: Aluminium racing <strong>stirrups</strong>).

the new dimension of <strong>stirrups</strong> provides supreme comfort.<br />

the <strong>bow</strong> that puts you on a winning curve.<br />

The new stirrup design ensures an improved leg position.<br />

The changed weight ratio on these <strong>stirrups</strong> results in<br />

perfect <strong>balance</strong> and greater comfort for the rider. The<br />

widened tread is made out of two types of rubber properties<br />

and takes effect in shock absorbing grip.<br />

The internationally approved System 4 technology of<br />

these <strong>stirrups</strong> can support the release of the foot in case<br />

of an emergency. Flexible in 4 directions it softens the<br />

Bow Balance design provides easy “pick up“ upon mounting<br />

as they require very little effort on the rider’s part – a<br />

simple touch of the foot to the stirrup and it gently folds<br />

onto the rider’s foot.<br />

2.1 Jointed stirruPs<br />

<strong>sprenger</strong> Jointed<br />

<strong>stirrups</strong> system 4<br />

a story of success.<br />

Over 25 years ago, Sprenger and the inventor Erwin Meroth<br />

developed the first jointed <strong>stirrups</strong>. The stirrup is characterised<br />

by a forward and backward moveable tread which<br />

automatically turns the rider’s heels in the correct low<br />

position and reduces the risk of becoming stuck in the<br />

stirrup in case of an emergency. The movable tread<br />

enables permanent contact and additionally provides<br />

very good foothold and relaxed calves. This might explain<br />

its great popularity among show jumpers and military<br />

riders.<br />

In 1998 Sprenger improved the <strong>stirrups</strong> flexibility by<br />

extending the joint with an additional link. The advanced<br />

stirrup distinguishes by maximum comfort in addition<br />

the advantages of the <strong>sprenger</strong><br />

Jointed <strong>stirrups</strong> system 4:<br />

• pivoting into 4 directions simultaneously<br />

• softens the impact on cartilage and ligaments<br />

• the heel is always in the correct low position<br />

• superb strength and enhanced security<br />

• great comfort<br />

to the known advantages. It relieves hips, knees and<br />

ankles during riding and particularly spares ligaments<br />

and menisci. Until today this patented “System 4 jointed<br />

stirrup“ is an epitome for comfortable riding. It has<br />

unquestionable confidence and is used by both, leisure<br />

and professional riders.<br />

Success – as in most cases – brings plagiarism. The<br />

copies you find in the market are often of poor quality<br />

and can generate a major safety risk. Therefore only trust<br />
