Balotade\u00ae Cadet plastic stirrups with a toe cage<\/strong> answer one specific danger: a foot that slides too deep into the stirrup. This happens above all during ordinary riding<\/strong> \u2014 anyone still learning loses the position of the leg and the foot travels in by itself. The consequence only shows in a fall, when the leg stays in the stirrup. The cage closes the front of the stirrup and simply does not let the foot go any further \u2014 a plain mechanical guard with no mechanism that could fail.<\/p>\n

The cage \u2013 a guard that closes the way<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • The closed front of the stirrup<\/strong> makes it impossible to push the foot in beyond the ball of the foot,<\/li>\n
  • No risk of the leg getting trapped<\/strong> in a fall \u2013 there is nowhere for it to go,<\/li>\n
  • Nothing breaks and nothing needs servicing<\/strong> \u2013 it is a solid guard, not a moving mechanism,<\/li>\n
  • The guard also protects<\/strong> the toe of the boot against rubbing on the horse’s side and on obstacles out hacking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Who it is for: learning to ride, children, hacking and endurance<\/h3>\n

    A toe cage is most useful where the leg does not always sit in the stirrup exactly as it should:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Children and riders still learning<\/strong> \u2013 the foot still wanders in the stirrup and the instructor does not have to watch its depth,<\/li>\n
    • Hacking and endurance<\/strong> \u2013 many hours in the saddle, changing ground and situations where a horse can react sharply,<\/li>\n
    • Boots with a soft, narrow sole<\/strong>, which slide in too far most easily,<\/li>\n
    • Riding schools<\/strong>, where many beginners use the same saddle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      A light and tough body<\/h3>\n
        \n
      • Polymer instead of metal<\/strong> \u2013 the stirrups are very light, which genuinely matters for a small rider,<\/li>\n
      • Weatherproof<\/strong> \u2013 they do not rust and need no cleaning after rain or mud,<\/li>\n
      • An anti-slip tread<\/strong> keeps the boot in place.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Two sizes: 11 and 12 cm<\/h3>\n
          \n
        • 11 cm<\/strong> \u2013 for children’s boots and a smaller foot,<\/li>\n
        • 12 cm<\/strong> \u2013 the universal size, for teenagers and adults,<\/li>\n
        • A stirrup is chosen to match the width of the boot<\/strong>, not the height of the rider \u2013 leave about half a centimetre of clearance on each side of the boot.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Technical details<\/h3>\n
            \n
          • Tread width<\/strong>: 11 cm or 12 cm (your choice),<\/li>\n
          • Material<\/strong>: plastic,<\/li>\n
          • Guard<\/strong>: toe cage closing the front of the stirrup,<\/li>\n
