I have been using rubber tread inserts. Do I leave them in or take them out? There is no need for them anymore. You can take them out because the Toe Stoppers have a molded tread in them.
I have a pair of Peacock stirrups with a rubber ring side, are the safe? No. Riders have been hooked and dragged in Peacock stirrups because your foot can still get caught at the top of the iron. .
How can Toe Stoppers give me a competitive advantage and improve my winning performance? If you look at photos in most magazines, you will see rider's feet have slipped forward of the ball of the foot or slipped off the iron. This makes them lose concentration, as one foot is in the balanced position whereby the other foot is forward and unbalancing the rider. Instead of concentrating on their next jump or barrel, which may be seconds away, they are trying to get their foot back in the correct balanced position on the ball of the foot. This could cause them to hit the rail or make their horse fall.
I have been using a breakaway stirrup and I was caught and dragged. How are Toe Stoppers different? With the breakaway stirrup, your foot can still get caught behind the top of the iron bar. Toe Stoppers has a closed pocket, preventing this from happening and also keeps your feet in the correct balanced, safety position at all times.
How are Toe Stoppers attached? Toe Stoppers have Velcro straps and are easy to attach. Click here to see a diagram.
