Sprenger Bow Balance Stirrup!

[MAK93]

Hi All,

I’ve just ‘invested’ in the sprenger bow balance stirrup, hoping they’re as good as the reviews! But they’ve arrived & the seem HUGE! I haven’t ridden in them yet, I ordered 5 1/8 because I needed 5” so anything smaller wouldn’t have been any good. But in general the whole stirrup seems huge compared to my others.

Just wondering if anyone found that & how they got in with them?!

TIA

I've had mine ages and off hand can't remember what size they are, but I've got tiny feet and don't find mine big.
I have arthritis in my hips and lower back and find they help.

I’ve got 4 3/4 which my size 6 ariat conistons just give me enough clearance. Bought them back in the day for £120. Shocked at how much they are now! But they have been one of those extravagant purchases I’ve never regretted. Had a few falls with them and feet never got stuck.
