Give your young rider the confidence and freedom they need to make progress on their pony in complete safety. The Safe On Junior British Green Safety Stirrups - Flex-On embody the future of equestrian protection for children. Designed specifically for riders under 40 kg, they incorporate the most advanced innovations from French manufacturer Flex-On, a recognized reference in the field of high-end equipment. Their unique combination of safety, comfort, and customization sets a new standard to accompany every adventure, from the arena to hacking out.
Safety designed for young riders
Because the safety of young riders is an absolute priority, the Safe On Junior take a decidedly preventive approach. On horseback, the main fear in the event of a fall is the risk of having a foot trapped in the stirrup. To anticipate this scenario, these stirrups feature a patented removable “Breakaway” outer branch, designed to open instantly in the event of an impact exceeding 15 kg. This ingenious mechanism automatically releases the rider’s foot, drastically reducing the risk of being dragged or trampled by the pony.
Two sets of branches are included: one calibrated to open at 15 kg, ideal for younger and lighter riders, and another opening from 31 kg, to accommodate the rider’s growth. The system uses high-quality elastomers, which resist daily wear and tear while ensuring reliable activation when it really matters. This passive safety is discreet in daily use; lateral stability and foot support are assured when riding, and only a significant external force will trigger the release.
To meet these specific needs, the children’s safety stirrup becomes an essential ally, making riding safer for all young equestrians.
Flex-on innovation and comfort
Safety should never come at the expense of comfort or sporting enjoyment. Flex-On equips its Safe On Junior stirrups with an exclusive single-branch spring steel frame overmolded with bio-sourced polyamide, offering robustness, flexibility, and lightness. The result: a stirrup designed to suit children’s morphology and dynamic needs, weighing just 1.2 kg per pair for minimal leg fatigue, even during long sessions.
The footbed features specially designed elastomers to absorb shocks and reduce impact on the most vulnerable joints—knees, ankles, and hips are protected, even during landings or sustained paces. The flat surface of the footbed offers excellent foot stability, limiting accidental slips, while the offset stirrup leather slot allows for a better connection with the pony or small mount and encourages a natural leg position.
Unlimited customization for a unique style
Being well protected does not stop you from expressing your own style! The Safe On Junior British Green stirrups stand out with their elegant deep green frame, but that’s just the start of the customizable adventure. Flex-On offers a world of colors and combinations to make every pair unique:
- 9 frame colors, including British green, to match the saddle or the rider’s personality.
- 3 footbed shades: black, grey, or white—to suit the dress code or maximize visibility.
- 22 colored elastomers to add a fun touch or coordinate with club colors.
- 16 colors of removable safety branches, which can be adjusted or replaced as the child and their preferences evolve.
- Customizable magnetized stickers to change as often as you like or to suit the season.
This modularity supports each rider’s growth and creativity, making it easy to refresh appearance without ever compromising on safety. Branches can even be swapped out in the event of wear or simply for a new color combination.
A tool for learning and progress
More than just an accessory, Safe On Junior stirrups become a true partner in learning. Their ergonomic design supports a stable leg and correct foot position, two fundamentals for developing a good seat from an early age. Thanks to the stirrup’s steadiness and the excellent grip of the footbed, riders gain confidence whether learning to post the trot, jumping their first cavaletti, or heading out on a hack.
Lasting comfort reduces muscle fatigue and lets children focus on their posture and actions on the pony. Parents and instructors alike appreciate the increased safety, without forgetting independence or fun.
Easy maintenance & reliable warranty
Maintenance couldn’t be easier: a wipe with a sponge on the frame and footbed restores the stirrups’ shine, even after muddy rides or outdoor play. The quality of the materials (anti-oxidation treated steel and bio-sourced polyamide) ensures exceptional durability, and each pair comes with a two-year warranty against manufacturing defects and abnormal wear.
Interchangeable branch and sticker kits allow you to extend the life of your equipment without needing to replace everything. A sustainable, economical, and responsible choice.
