Do you wear spurs?
If so, then do yourself a favor and don't use them. Trust me on that one.[/quote]
Umm... care to explain your logic? I use spurs and own peacock irons and I've never had a problem...[/quote]
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[/quote]
Interesting... haha and the band didn't snap?

I think that was just a freak thing with you, and only you. xD
they're fine, I like other stirrups better, but I can honestly say they did save me once.

DONT USE PEACOCKM STIRROPS!!!!lets say ur jumping...at a show.....just started the corse.....when it breaks loose oh no suddenly, no stirrops! Lolz, you can still ride in peakock stirrups after the rubber band breaks. It isn't very comfortable, but you can do it.

When I fell off mine snapped in the middle of the lesson, and my trainer made me finish the lesson without the band. There wasn't much difference.

Lolz, you can still ride in peakock stirrups after the rubber band breaks. It isn't very comfortable, but you can do it. please exsplain Alrighty then. If your foot is correctly in the stirrup, it doesn't matter if the band is there or not. And if it really is such a terrible problem that the band isn't there, turn the stirrup around so the metal is on the outside. But really, it shouldn't make that much of a difference.

please exsplain[/quote] If you're relying on the outside of the stirrups to keep your foot in, then you need to do some major work on your heel.
Unless you're jumping, and you don't have that steady of a base through your heel, then there is absolutely no need for the outside of the stirrup. The peacocks do come up about 2 or 3 centimeters (of metal) on the outside, or, enough to keep your foot from sliding out the edge.
But really, I'm hoping you don't depend on the side of the stirrup to ride. O.o

| Personally I think peacock stirrups are tacky looking. I would use them for walk-trot schooling, but not cantering, jumping, or showing. What's everyone's opinions on Kwik-out and jointed stirrups?
