Revolutionary new stirrup that positions your stirrups where YOU want them. Select any of three secure positions(L-R in photo): traditional, 45 or 90 degrees.

Easily retrievable, open stirrup angle greatly reduces danger of being hung up.

"These are the most comfortable stirrups I have ever ridden in, it\’s like wearing your favorite shoes all day long. They are the best stirrups I have ever tried."
LINDA PARELLI

"I want to thank you for the stirrups which I\’ve been using in earnest. I love them. They fit perfectly with my concept of riding with "Fluidity" allowing riders to truly mold their legs around their horse and not have the stirrups interfere."
BEEZIE MADDEN

"I\’ve stopped having pain in my knee caused by the concussion of landing. Finally, the stirrup and leather naturally fit my leg in the proper position, making my whole leg more comfortable…and no more leg burns! They\’re simply amazing! The MDC design makes so much sense, I can\’t believe stirrups weren\’t designed like this in the first place!!!"

Cheryl had recently undergone laparascopic knee surgery for an injury and ongoing pain. She had continued to experience significant knee pain even after the surgery.
“Weeks ago I was unable to ride without knee pain but since using the MDC Intelligent stirrups riding is not only possible but enjoyable again and most of all I am able to ride constructively as proven with Blackwood’s score in the Inter II on the weekend.
Adding to this, the week before last I went skiing for a week. With my knee problem I was able to ski for the first three days but was unable to move off my bed on the 4th day. However, when I returned home I was able ride quite comfortably on the Sunday. I believe this is the result of the Intelligent Stirrup!”

"Customizing one\’s stirrup angles is a great development in riding technology. The MDC Intelligent Stirrups® are very comfortable and I really like the preset angles and the equal pressure they provide. I would recommend these stirrups to anyone at any level of riding."
