Samshield Stirrups | Premium Riding Stirrups | Emmers Equestrian
Upgrade one of the most important contact points between rider and horse with Samshield stirrups from Emmers Equestrian, available in-store and online with worldwide shipping. Samshield has extended its philosophy of precision engineering and premium quality from their helmets and apparel into their stirrup collection, producing riding stirrups that make a genuine, feelable difference to position, stability, and comfort in the saddle.
Samshield stirrups are engineered for performance, combining lightweight construction with a secure, ergonomic footbed that supports the rider's position through every phase of work, from extended trot to jumping efforts and the precision of lateral movements. The angled tread and carefully considered width encourage a correct, heels-down position naturally, reducing fatigue in the ankle and knee over long training sessions and full competition days. For riders who spend significant time in the saddle, the difference between a standard stirrup and a well-designed safety stirrup is felt immediately and appreciated more with every ride.
Beyond performance, Samshield stirrups carry the brand's signature aesthetic - clean lines, quality materials, and a finish that looks as polished in the dressage arena as it does on the showjumping course. They are the natural choice for riders who have already invested in Samshield helmets, jackets, and breeches available at Emmers Equestrian.

What size stirrups do I need?
The Samshield Stirrups comes in a One Size option.
Are Samshield stirrups safety stirrups?
Samshield stirrups incorporate safety features designed to reduce the risk of a rider's foot becoming trapped in the event of a fall, one of the most important considerations when choosing a stirrup iron. Thanks to its advanced cable and spring system, the branch can open 180° and will always return to its original position automatically.
For riders of all levels and disciplines, choosing a stirrup with proven safety features is strongly recommended. Our team at Emmers Equestrian can advise on the specific safety features of each Samshield stirrup style.
What is the difference between standard and safety stirrups?
Standard stirrup irons are a fixed, closed frame with no release mechanism, if a rider falls, there is a risk of the foot becoming caught. Safety stirrups address this with design features that allow the foot to exit quickly: these include breakaway side pieces, angled or flexible arms, and open-sided designs.
Are Samshield stirrups good for dressage?
Yes, Samshield stirrups are well suited to dressage, where a stable, correct position in the stirrup is fundamental to producing accurate, harmonious work. The ergonomic footbed encourages a natural heels-down position and even weight distribution across the ball of the foot, which supports the quiet, still leg that dressage judges reward. The clean, polished aesthetic of Samshield stirrups also looks appropriate in the arena alongside the rest of the Samshield competition collection available at Emmers Equestrian.
Can I use Samshield stirrups for show jumping and eventing?
Yes, Samshield stirrups are designed to perform across disciplines including show jumping and eventing. For jumping, the security and grip of the tread is particularly important, as is the safety release mechanism in the event of a fall. Samshield stirrups provide the stability needed for a correct jumping position while the safety features give riders and parents of younger riders confidence in the equipment. Our team at Emmers Equestrian can recommend the best Samshield stirrup style for your specific discipline and level.
How do I clean and maintain Samshield stirrups?
Samshield stirrups should be removed from the leathers and cleaned regularly to prevent the build-up of dirt, grease, and rust. Wipe down with a damp cloth after each ride and dry thoroughly. For a deeper clean, use a soft brush and mild soapy water, rinse well, and dry immediately. Metal components can be polished with a suitable metal cleaner to maintain their finish. If your stirrups have rubber treads, remove and clean them separately, checking for wear and replacing them when the grip becomes compromised.
