Stirrup Irons??

Question

With some safety stirrup irons, it has a rubber band like part. I just bought a used saddle with this type of stirrup, but the rubber is dried and cracking. I want to buy a replacement, but I can't find them anywhere on the internet, except Dover Saddlery, but they are bright red (not my favorite color). I don't want to drive 50 minutes to a tack store. Can anybody find a website that carries them?

Answer 1

Answer 2

Answer 3

Wow - I didn't realize how hard they are to find. I looked on eBay and this is what I found. They are a "Buy it Now" item. Don't know if you want white, though. The picture they have is of a black pair.

I've done good business with these people before.
