Peacock stirrups??? I use them in show and schooling, although most people say they look kinda blah in the show ring. You can sometimes get dragged by these stirrups too although its never happned to moi. They're not all that fancy but I like'em. Hope I helped!!!!!! :D

Most of the stirrups at my barn are peacock stirrups, but we do have some regulars.
My opinion on them, is that they're okay, sometimes the bands pop off by themselves, when you are riding normally, which can get annoying. I prefer the regulars for jumping, as the bands are one less thing to worry about.

| They're ok, they're safe and all that but sometimes the elastic thing snaps off and you can't find it. I don't really like the look off them, if your dragged the stirrup bar will let you go so you don't always need them. 
^^If the stirrup bar is down then the stirrup leather will slip through when you're dragged.

I have no problem with them, and the bands won't pop off unless there's pressure on them. So if your foot is in the stirrup correctly, they shouldn't pop. Even if they do, it shouldn't matter - my friend rode a whole clinic without an outside band because she turned her foot out and popped it off in the first five minutes and was too embaressed to ask the clinician to get it for her. I personally like the look of regular stirrups better, but in terms of performance I've never had a problem with them.

I really don't care either way for regular or peacock. I have peacock stirrups and don't have any problems with them.

I don't really mind them, I prefer just regular irons though.
Personally, I think they look kind of tacky though P:

| I always thought peacock stirrups were good for riders just starting out, up until about 2 years or so. I mean there a good safety thing to have, and are mainly used for beginners. But in my experience they tend to pop off right when your in the middle of a show, and then when your falling they don't pop off!!!! Haha!! But thats just what happened to me! I can't ride without my jointed irons and cheese grater stirrup fillers. But again thats just me.

I'm actually a fan of Jointed Stirrups. My trainer has some that are silver but have leather where the joints are, and it looks really nice. And she has the "cheesegrater" pads which are AMAZING.
thanks jordyn for the banner

I personally extremely dislike them. Not because of performance, but because they look very tacky.
I have them, and I hate the look. :\
But, if you're a beginner, I'd suggest them. Years and years ago I fell off a schoolie, and the entire thing popped off. xD

They're alright, but I tend to prefer normal stirrups.
Break-away stirrups can break off un-intentionally, but usually only if they're really worn down, so they're pretty decent safety wise.

Ehh... I don't like them that much. This is just my opinion, so please don't kill me, but I think they look kind of unprofessional and walk-trotish. But hey, if you like them, go for it.

Well, let's just say that I fell off and my spur got caught on the rubber band thing. Which then led to me being dragged around the arena...not too fun. xD
