Should I buy Ophena stirrups second hand?
Buying new tack for your horses can be very pricey. After all, quality leather, well-fitted saddles, and high-quality bridles cost money. Also, the rider needs a good helmet and comfortable boots. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. In fact, many riders consider buying certain things second hand. For instance, Ophena stirrups second hand can be more affordable than buying brand new ones.
But, should you buy Ophena stirrups second hand and where can you get them?
Stirrups second hand - should you buy them?
First things first: should you buy stirrups second hand? Of course, stainless steel stirrups last for years and years, and the treading can always be changed. But when it comes to safety stirrups, you also have to take the safety mechanism into account. Is the mechanism still flawless when you buy stirrups second hand?
Ophena stirrups second hand can surely be bought from someone who is selling their old ones. And the good news about our stirrups is that the open design allows the rider’s foot to release easily, and there is no mechanism that could lock or get jammed.
Also, we should mention that if you are on a budget and are looking to save some money when buying your safety stirrups, you can take a look at our B-stock.

Stirrups second hand vs new stirrups
New stirrups are alluring, of course. Brand new stirrups that are shiny and that have never been used before are a good choice, but just like with everything else, brand new is more costly.
So, it is no wonder that many equestrians buy stirrups second hand.
Typically, second hand stirrups are a good option that allow you to save some money. However, before purchasing second hand stirrups, you should inspect them carefully.
- Check the integrity of the safety mechanism: does it work?
- Check the frame of the stirrups: are there any cracks?
- Check the treading: can you get new treading by buying new pads?
No worries though when purchasing Ophena B-Stock. Those products have been carefully checked by our staff.
