Ontyte Magnetic Stirrups 5 Inch

The Ontyte Magnetic Stirrups combine innovation, comfort and a unique approach to safety in one revolutionary system. Thanks to the patented magnetic mechanism, your foot stays in contact with the stirrup more easily, allowing you to ride with greater confidence and quickly relocate your stirrup whenever needed. Developed for both amateur and professional riders, the Ontyte system is now trusted by leading riders around the world.

Manufactured from high-quality polymer, the stirrups feature a wide footbed for outstanding comfort and stability. When used together with the Ontyte Precision Placement Sole System, a subtle magnetic connection is created between your footwear and the stirrup. The connection is strong enough to help you maintain contact with the stirrup while riding, yet releases instantly whenever necessary, for example in the event of a fall.

A unique approach to safety
Unlike many traditional safety stirrups, Ontyte does not rely on a side arm or release mechanism that opens during a fall. Instead, the carefully engineered magnetic connection between the stirrup and the Ontyte Precision Placement Sole System helps you maintain contact with the stirrup while riding. As soon as the direction of force changes, such as during a fall, the connection releases immediately. This provides extra confidence and stability while riding, without compromising safety.

Ontyte has been the trusted stirrup system of world-class riders including Scott Brash, Laura Kraut, Edwina Tops-Alexander and many other leading show jumpers for many years. The system is FEI approved and is also widely used by para dressage riders. Horse Riders Classics is the exclusive Ontyte dealer and is happy to advise you on the complete Ontyte system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will metal objects stick to my riding boots or shoes?
No. The magnets are located exclusively inside the stirrups. The Precision Placement soles contain a specially developed metal insert that interacts with the magnetic system.

How does Ontyte differ from traditional safety stirrups?
Traditional safety stirrups generally use a release arm or opening side that disengages during a fall. Ontyte takes a completely different approach. The carefully engineered magnetic connection between the stirrup and the Precision Placement Sole System helps you maintain contact with the stirrup while riding, yet releases immediately whenever the load changes, such as during a fall. This ensures your foot does not remain trapped.

Can I continue using my current riding boots or shoes?
Yes. With the Ontyte Precision Placement Sole System, virtually all riding boots and many riding shoes can be adapted for use with Ontyte stirrups.

Can I compete using Ontyte stirrups?
Yes. The Ontyte system is FEI approved and may be used in FEI competitions.
