Optimum balance and comfort
The Bow Balance stirrups are characterized by a particularly curved shape, which not only improves the balance of the stirrup, but also makes it easier to pick up and promotes a natural leg position. For beginners in particular, the Bow Balance stirrup can ensure that the stirrup is much easier to pick up after mounting. As the curved shape of the stirrup brings the leg into a calmer, more correct position, it is easier for the rider to learn the correct seat in the saddle and to give forward driving aids. The Bow Balance stirrups from SPRENGER also promote a low and elastic heel position, as the innovative System 4 joints allow movement in the stirrup. This means that the rider's leg lies correctly and relaxed on the horse's belly and the movements can be softly cushioned.
The System-4 joint - safety with every step
Another outstanding feature of Bow Balance stirrups is the tried-and-tested System-4 joint. This joint makes it easier to release the foot in the event of a fall, reducing the risk of getting caught in the stirrup. The System-4 joint not only reduces the risk of injury, but first and foremost enables a natural foot movement that remains flexible and elastic when riding. It also ensures that your joints, ligaments and menisci are relieved - a difference that you will notice especially if you spend many hours a day in the saddle, go on long rides or have knee problems. But every other rider also benefits from the jointed stirrups and the noticeable comfort they provide in the saddle.

Extra wide tread for even more comfort
The wide tread of the SPRENGER Bow Balance stirrups is equipped with two different rubber hardnesses for a better grip. This not only increases comfort when riding, but also ensures that the rider remains firmly in the stirrup - regardless of whether you are riding outdoors, in the indoor arena or go for a hack. For even more grip, especially in wet conditions, you can replace the tread and use a stainless steel stirrup insert for the Bow Balance.
What our testers say:
The Bow Balance stirrup from SPRENGER is a true innovation in the field of riding accessories, combining both comfort and safety. Our tester is a riding school that naturally attaches great importance to the safety of its riding beginners and wants to provide them with the best possible support in learning to ride, so it was a pleasure to provide this stirrup for testing, and the result? Pure enthusiasm!
Dear Sprenger Team,
First of all, thank you very much for the great opportunity to test the Bow Balance stirrup. The safety of our riding students is our top priority. For this reason, we really wanted to test the Bow Balance from you - and we are more than thrilled! The curved shape makes it easier for every student to pick up their stirrup after mounting. The leg is automatically in a more stable and incorrect position with a low heel on the horse. These stirrups really are an absolute highlight! You automatically feel safer and protect your joints at the same time. Our next goal would be to order the stirrups in different colors for our riding school. Here too, SPRENGER has left nothing to be desired! We are very grateful to you for this great opportunity to test the stirrups and look forward to them every day anew during our training!
Best wishes from beautiful Wildeshausen,
Dana from the Gut Spascher Sand riding school
