The STS English irons are a revolutionary new safety stirrup iron targeted at the Equestrian and Western industry and the Racing industry for early-morning gallops. Its unique design incorporates an extended platform for better foot support and balance, improved foot tread to help prevent foot slipping and frontal formed bars with an outer rubber post.

The English iron is designed on an angle for added riding support, and the centre and outer bar prevents the riders’ foot slipping forward keeping the riders’ feet in the correct balanced position on the ball of the foot. By preventing the riders’ feet slipping forward into the iron and in the event a rider falls, the bar formation and the rubber post prevent the riders boot being hooked up in the iron and dragged, greatly reducing the risk of injury and deaths to the rider.
