Description
The Peacock iron is very popular for use by children. It is a variety of safety iron, designed so that the rubber ring is located on the outside of the foot, and will come away in the event of a fall. The idea of this is that the foot is released and prevents the rider from being “hung up”.
These stirrups come complete with Rubber Rings and Leather Tabs. Both of these items are available separately to replace lost or broken parts.
To correctly gaugue the correct stirrup size, the rider should place the ball of their foot on the stirrup bars, close to the inside, leaving a space of 25mm (1″) to the outside.
Additional grip may be offered through the use of rubber treads that can be fitted to the stirrup – available for separate purchase in Black or White.

Really happy with the safety stirrups quality and price. Will come in handy when riding new horses under saddle and having that peace of mind that safety stirrups offer
Genevieve Spencer –
They are good stirrups and give you peace of mind while riding. I’ve not yet had to put the rubber band into action, but I have no doubt it would work well.
