What makes Ophena stirrups comfortable

What makes safety stirrups comfortable?

At Ophena, we believe that your safety stirrups should work with you and not against you. Your safety stirrups should help you to improve your posture, absorb impact, give you support, and stay with you in hectic situations. 

We have achieved this by designing stirrups that allow you to focus on your ride without worrying about your stirrups. 

Magnetic safety stirrups: Ophena S and Ophena S Pro

Our magnetic safety stirrups, Ophena S and Ophena S Pro, feature a magnetic connection that places your foot in the correct spot and keeps it there. Many of our customers have reported decreased joint pain and improved leg and foot position, thanks to the magnetic connection that keeps your foot where it should be. 

In addition to the magnetic connection, our magnetic safety stirrups have excellent treading which improves the grip. Rain or shine, your foot will stay exactly where it should. 

In fact, one of our customers said she once forgot to put her magnetic insoles in the boots, and still felt that her foot stayed nicely in the stirrups and didn't slip or cause discomfort. These are the kind of stories we like to hear!

Safety stirrups: Ophena A

Our safety stirrup, Ophena A, also includes excellent grip but it doesn't have a magnetic connection. This is because we wanted to create a stirrup that would also serve dressage riders and those who simply wish not to have magnetic stirrups. 

Also, Ophena A has integrated dampening which allows for better shock absorption. This enables the stirrup to move with you and to absorb shocks from bigger impacts, such as a landing from a big fence. 

What our customers say

You don't have to take our word for it: trust our customers! You can read all our stirrup reviews and see for yourself. 

Our customers have reported, for instance, the following benefits of using our safety stirrups:

  • Increased safety
  • Decreased knee, hip, and ankle pain
  • Improved posture
  • Better focus
  • Improved foot and leg position
  • Increased comfort
  • Better balance

Many of our customers have said that their foot position has improved even when they ride in regular stirrups. 

How do Ophena safety stirrups work?

Ophena magnetic safety stirrups have an open design and a magnetic connection that makes riding safer and more comfortable. The magnetic connection keeps your foot in place while the open design allows your foot to release easier in case of an accident. 

This is how our magnetic safety stirrups work:

Also, our Ophena A may not be a magnetic safety stirrup, but it includes patent-pending technology that increases the safety of the rider. 

On the outer side of the stirrup, you will see a silicone piece that attaches at the top and the bottom. It releases in all directions when pressure is applied, making it easier for you to release your foot from the stirrups in case of a fall.

Here's how Ophena A works:
