Flex-On Green Composite Ultra-grip stirrups (inclined or flat footbed)
Please select: (see "Options" below)
The mainstream version of Flex-on's innovative hi-tech stirrups which uses composite frames with a steel core (see "You may also like" below for Flex-on's other models based on the same core design). Designed and scientifically proven to provide help with riding position and reduce strain on the leg muscles and joints, these offer an amazing ride and have to be tried to be believed (see note below re. our tester service).
Stocked in black and dark grey with either flat or inclined footbeds, but also available to order with custom coloured frames and/or elastomers (see "Options" below). See also "About Flex-on Stirrups" for more information on customisation options and an explanation of the differences between the Composite, Pro (Alu frame) and Safe-on models.
Why we chose them:
- Lightweight: strong but lightweight frame (450g) uses hi-tech design and polyamide composites over a steel core
- Innovative frame design: clever offset and skewed stirrup-leather slot, plus carefully designed footbed, helps create the ideal position for rider's leg and foot
- Shock absorbing: elastomer shock absorbers supporting the footbed plus flexibility built into the frame help absorb shocks and vibration
- Ultra-grip footbed: small studs embedded in the stirrup tread grip the boot to give excellent stability of ride and connection with the horse, without damaging boots (option of non-studded footbeds). Flat or inclined tread
- Huge range of colour customisation options: Frame, elastomers & footbed all come in a variety of colours, allowing a vast range of combinations. Plus the magnetic inserts are swappable to any of a large range of colours and designs
We are Flex-on's original UK retailer (we introduced them at Olympia in 2014) giving us unrivalled experience with these excellent products. We strongly encourage you to consult us and use our tester service (described below) when choosing between models and footbed types - we aim to ensure you get the right product and configuration for your needs.

Options:
Flex-on offer a wide range of customisation options:
- Frame/elastomer/footbed surround colours: We hold stock for immediate delivery black and dark grey frames with corresponding elastomer and footbed surrounds (see product images). They can also be special ordered in other frame and elastomer colour combinations (for available colours & examples, see product images): there is also a choice of black or grey footbed surrounds. To order custom-coloured stirrups choose the "custom" option and specify your requirements in the Special order details box on the basket page: lead-time is generally 2-3 weeks. Note that custom stirrups are not returnable unless faulty.
- Custom inserts: All Flex-on stirrups are supplied with black inserts bearing the Flex-on logo, with the "-on" element of the logo coloured to link to the elastomer colour. As an alternative to these standard inserts, custom decorative inserts can be ordered as an additional item (see You may also like" below), and are easy to swap over

Footbed options: We supply these stirrups in a choice of flat or inclined footbeds: Flex-on recommend the flat type for dressage and general riding, and the inclined for jumping. We have testers available in both footbed types. As standard both come with ultra-grip metal studs for extra grip, but we can supply studless footbeds, and we recommend this for children and adults under 120lb (55kg). If wanting studless footbeds please specify in the"Special order details" box on the basket page
Fitting note: Due to their special asymmetric design, these stirrups come with distinct left and right frames, marked "R" and "L" on the frame. The frame marked "R" should be on the right foot, with the "R" facing the rider
Footbed size: 4 ¾"
