The MDC Intelligent Stirrup-  Introductory Pricing

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

45 Degrees: Once the rider presets the stirrups at 45 degrees, instantly they notice that the leather is applying ½ 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 Stirrups® 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.  

90 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 Stirrups® are performing 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. 

The MDC Stirrup -(comfort / Ultimate) :  The MDC Intelligent Stirrups® are patented and revolutionary in design.  These irons allow riders the choice of three positions: Traditional, 45 or 90 degrees. This will allow you to customize your stirrups to the setting that best suits you, your horse and your riding application. They relieve pain in your ankles, knees, hips and back plus reduce pressure across the front of the shin as well as reducing leg burns and pinching.  Now you can put your stirrups where you want them and have them work with your body and not against it.  The MDC stirrups are easily retrievable (that is they are easy to catch with your foot), making your performance more precise and much safer. Additionally, the open stirrup angles greatly reduce the danger of being hung up and seriously injured. Each model comes with the patented, adjustable top, which means that your stirrup is waiting for your foot just as soon as you swing your leg over the saddle! The MDC Stirrups® are sized true with an opening of  4 ¼", 4 ½", 4 ¾" and 5 inch. Specify style and size.

The MDC Sport / Supper Sport Stirrup: Like is sibling, the Sport stirrup has the patented locking swivel neck, but was designed with the Jumper and Event Riders in mind. But in reality, these stirrups are fantastic for everyone due to the sure grip - and less weight base.  Now everyone can benefit from the sure grip-wide base, lower profile design and less weight.  The sure grip, aluminum tread gives the rider more traction, stability and comfort due to a deeper platform for support thus reducing pressure under the foot. By using both stainless steel and aluminum metals, MDC has been able to offer a stirrup that actually weighs less than their original model.  The MDC Sport offers the look and strength of stainless steel, blended with the lightness of polished aluminum.  The combination of metals maintains a traditional look for the show ring and unsurpassed strength and balance that MDC is known for.  The MDC Stirrups® are sized true with a opening of  4 ¼", 4 ½", 4 ¾" and 5 inch.

Track Rider’s Horror Dragging Ordeal. 
   This dragging incident at Sandown on 6th October 2004 follows another near fatal dragging incident whereby Matthew Palmer was dragged for 100m and blacked out. When he came too Matthew said he had no feeling from his waist down and thought he was paralyzed. Fortunately Matthew only suffered severe bruising.
    Matthew has since been using Track Toe Stoppers and said "They are good - Too good!" because he was concerned if he had to ride another trainers horse without Toe Stoppers. Matthew also used the Race Toe Stoppers last Saturday 2nd October 2004.
