Finally, an Intelligent Stirrup!!!

The MDC Intelligent StirrupsĀ® are a revolutionary new stirrup design that positions your stirrups where YOU want them. Riders can now select any of three preset stirrup positions: traditional, 45 degrees or 90 degrees. You can customize your stirrups to the setting that best suits you, your horse and your riding application. This Feature is a First in Modern Stirrup Technology! The preset angle improves leg, calf and foot position, relieves pressure on hips, knees and ankles, as well as reducing leg burns. The MDC Intelligent StirrupsĀ® are easily retrievable, making your performance more precise and much safer. Additionally, the open stirrup angles greatly reduces the danger of being hung up and seriously injured.

Releases Pressure on Ankles, Knees, Hips and Back
Many stirrups claim that they release pressure on the ankles, knees hips and back but do not explain how this happens. The MDC Intelligent StirrupsĀ® are truly more comfortable due to the fact that these stirrups come to you and not you to them. Our preset angles match your specific body needs and work to promote a greater harmony with your body alignment. Anyone with any stiffness or previous injuries will immediately feel this release of pressure on their joints.

45 Degrees
Once the rider presets the stirrups at 45 degrees, instantly they notice that the leather is applying Ā½ the pressure across their shin as a normal stirrup. This reduction in leather pressure reduces leg burns, but still gives the rider who relies on this pressure the feeling that they desire. Should the rider lose their iron, the MDC Intelligent StirrupsĀ® will tend to leave a clear opening making the stirrup easily retrievable. This increase in stirrup retrieval puts the rider back in control and allows them to proceed and compete at their highest possible efficiency. 45 Degrees seems to be the preferable preset angle for Show Jumpers and Event Riders.

 

MDC stirrup 90 degrees90 Degrees
Presetting the irons at 90 degrees results in no leather pressure across the shin and leaves the iron completely open for retrieval. At 90 degrees, the MDC Intelligent StirrupsĀ® are preforming at their maximum level: no leather burns, maximum retrieval and the greatest safety, as the stirrup tends to remain open allowing the dislodged rider to clear the stirrup safely and easily. 90 Degrees seems to be the preferable preset for Dressage, Endurance and Trail Riders as well as general flat riding applications.

MDC Stirrups Adjustable Top

Traditional Angle
Of course, the MDC Intelligent StirrupsĀ® can be set at the traditional angle. This allows you to easily run up your irons.


Sizes:  4 Ā½" , 4 Ā¾" & 5"

Stirrup Sizing Chart. Please Consult Before Purchasing.

Stirrup measurements are taken from the inside branch of the stirrup across the tread to the other inside branch. Stirrups that are too small are more difficult to retrieve and may not release your foot easily during a fall. 

 

MDC Stirrupsā„¢ are true sized.  We have taken into account the rubber sleeves and create a true opening of either 4 Ā¼ā€, 4 Ā½ā€, 4 Ā¾ā€ or 5ā€ unlike other hinged products whose openings are smaller than advertised. MDC's patented design allows for more escape room from the top of the tread to the top of the inner stirrup arch. Modern stirrups are taller than they are wider. This increased area allows for more ease in escaping a stirrup during a fall than designs with less clearance area.

MDC stirrups saving my hips and knees

By: on 20 March 2020
I absolutely love these stirrups! They have taken the strain out of both my knees and my hips like no other stirrups ever have. They allow me to keep a closer contact without pain and also no pressure on my shins from the stirrup leathers.

Super Comfortable

By: on 27 November 2018
Love these stirrups, they have stopped me always trying to reposition the stirrup under my foot due to the wider tread and the stirrup sitting in a better position. Super fast delivery as always and lots of extra info came with these stirrups. Thanks Ashbree!

After an ankle injury, these stirrups were great at helping to reduce pain and fatigue.

Best money I have ever spent!

By: on 26 April 2016
I have chronic shin splints and compartment syndrome in my lower legs, and have really struggled to ride over the past 12 months due to the pain and discomfort experienced. I was considering giving up jumping, as I had incredible lactic pain, and my legs would go numb and I would lose all control over my lower leg. A coach recommended these stirrups to me, particularly because they have the wider foot plate, are heavier than normal stirrups and that they are much safer (open feature). I was sceptical that something so little as changing my stirrups could make such a difference, but I am incredibly glad I took the chance and tried these. I have gone from not being able to walk for 30mins - 1hr after a ride to being able to get off and walk around normally. The pressure has been released from my shins (I didn't even realise that normal stirrups put so much pressure on your shins!!) and I am able to utilise my lower leg much more without the numbness! I am feel much safer knowing that I am able to regain my stirrup easily if I lose it, and the battle to regain a stirrup is no longer a problem. My position is much better jumping now and I feel the wider footplate also attributes to this. The team at Ashbree were lovely and helpful when I called asking about sizing and which model to select. Will buy from Ashbree again in the future!

By: on 29 May 2015
I have only ridden in theses irons a few times but have noticed my leg is no were near as sore as before,not quite so with my back yet but am sure with more ridding I will see an improvement I am happy how the irons keep under my foot when my foot slips at times. look good to.

Great stirrups

By: on 15 April 2015
I bought these stirrups to help with ankle pain. They didn't completely relieve but did help a bit. I'm also really liking not having to search for a stirrup when getting on. I've also found that without the stirrup leather wrapping around my lower leg as with tradition stirrups, my lower leg feels closer to the horse, and more able to wrap around it. This option is great for stability with the wide foot bed and fixed sides it gives your foot a solid place to rest. I recommend these stirrups, they look pretty traditional but sit much better.
