The Safe-On Junior Prune Safety Stirrups – Flex-On are at the forefront of children’s protection, blending innovation, playful design, and customization for a calm riding experience, day after day. Specifically designed for riders under 40 kg, they offer a modern and secure solution to the essential issue of foot release in the event of a fall.
For riders looking for a children's safety stirrup adapted from a young age, the specific design of the Safe-On Junior meets learning needs and supports progress toward autonomy and confidence.
Reinvented safety for young riders
Every parent or coach puts a child’s safety at the heart of their concerns. The Safe-On Junior was designed to eliminate one of horse riding’s major risks: the young rider’s foot getting stuck in the stirrup in a fall. How? Thanks to an innovative outer branch that opens downward under adequate pressure, instantly freeing the foot and preventing dragging or trampling.
- Breakaway Mechanism: The removable branch, a true safety fuse, only reacts when necessary, while remaining stable during riding. It requires at least 15 kg of pressure on the arm to guarantee effectiveness and safety without accidental release.
- Opening force tailored for kids: Supplied with two pairs of flexible branches (15 kg and 31 kg), Safe-On Junior stirrups are adjusted to the rider's build, growth, and lightness. Such a precise system inspires confidence in every session.
- Focus on stability: The closed shape of the stirrup, as long as the branch is locked in place, prevents the young rider from losing a stirrup mid-action. Its design suits every exercise, right up to the most dynamic jumping rounds or trail rides.
Premium comfort and shock absorption
Wearing safety equipment should never mean discomfort or stiffness. Safe-On Junior stirrups incorporate Flex-On’s expertise to provide a flexible and comfortable riding experience.
- Single-branch steel spring frame: Ultra-strong and lightweight, this skeleton gives the stirrups optimized flexibility, following the child’s movement while absorbing pressure and vibration, helping reduce stress on joints (knees and ankles).
- Elastomer-based footbed: The platform sits on soft inserts, significantly reducing shocks during jumps or sharp movements. This protects the young rider’s body while making riding more enjoyable, whatever the discipline.
- Flat non-slip platform: Ensures maximum grip, keeping the foot steady even in bad weather or moments of excitement.
- Offset stirrup-leather slot: For a more natural connection between the rider’s leg and the pony, encouraging stable position learning from an early age.
Personalization: expressing style and creativity
Because every child likes to stand out, Flex-On offers wide customization for Safe-On Junior stirrups. It’s not just equipment—it’s an accessory that mirrors the young rider’s personality.
- Color your own way: 9 frame colors, 3 footbed shades, and 22 elastomer colors. The removable branch comes in 16 different colors, and the magnetic stickers are customizable too.
- Easy replacement: Removable parts (safety branch, stickers, elastomers) can be changed to suit tastes or replaced if damaged, without needing to change the entire stirrup.
- Unique Prune color: In the prune color version, these stirrups add a fruity, fashionable touch to the saddle for a look that stands out both in training and at shows.
