The Tough1 EZ Out Safety Stirrups are spring-loaded, designed specifically for adult riders. These stirrups are easy to use and offer added safety for equestrians participating in outdoor sports. With the Tough1 brand known for quality and durability, these stirrups are a reliable choice for those seeking reliable and secure footwear for their horse riding activities. They are spring loaded and will release on impact so your feet will not get stuck in the stirrups. If being dragged is a fear of yours, then these stirrups are for you. I have used them but they never had to activate.
