Default Safely Stirrups - Post yours.

As the title says.

Can you post a photo of them down and up on the saddle.

I am a bit confused as I know someone said mine were the wrong way I haven't used the saddle since then so have just changed them but they feel awkward so not sure if they are right.

I tried googling it but with no luck! some have the elastic it on the inside some on the outside!

Not got any pictures but the elastic should sit on the outside when your feet are in them, so when they're run up the elastic should be at the front.

Yes elastic or bent side, whatever ones you use, should be on the outside of your foot. When the stirrups are run up they should be on the side closest to the horses face.

Hello! :-)

When the stirrup is not in use, the elastic part should be closer to the horses head, the metal part of the stirrup, should be closer to your horses bottom.
