There is no hinge, spring or magnet in it: the opening is done by the arch itself. A sturdy stirrup of 680 grams each, made for riders who want weight under the foot and as few moving parts as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout this stirrup\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere most stirrups with a release function work with an arm on a hinge, Zandona goes about it differently. The inner frame is made of high-strength steel, and the outer side consists of a \u003cstrong\u003epolymer arch\u003c\/strong\u003e that gives way under pressure. Zandona calls that an omnidirectional release system: the foot can leave the stirrup in any direction, not only sideways. The brand underlines that there is no mechanism in it that can wear, stick or break. That is the argument behind the construction: fewer parts that can refuse to do their job.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt \u003cstrong\u003e680 grams per stirrup\u003c\/strong\u003e, this is a stirrup with noticeable weight. Anyone who likes a light stirrup will feel the difference from a machined model of around 420 grams, and that is also the main limitation of this model. Underneath sits a support core that, according to Zandona, brings the ride close to that of an ordinary stirrup, so the polymer arch does not feel like something that sags away. The brand states that the stirrup can take a load of up to 400 kg each.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tread is \u003cstrong\u003ecantilevered\u003c\/strong\u003e and tilts along with the foot: according to Zandona it sets itself to the natural position of the foot. The tread surface is wide and has a rough, rasp-like non-slip layer rather than separate pins. Underneath it sit drainage holes, so that sand and grit coming off your sole simply fall through. Handy for work in a sandy school or across country: your tread surface clogs up less quickly. The eye of the stirrup is set at an angle, which makes the stirrup hang in a position that makes it easier to get the foot in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccording to Zandona, the polymer of the arch works between -60 and +60 degrees Celsius, so winter cold changes nothing about its behaviour. The arch elements are available separately as a spare part, in several colours. The Omnia is made in Italy, comes in one size and is with us in the Grey finish. Zandona states that the construction is covered by two patent applications. A tread width in millimetres is not published by the brand.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zandona","offers":[{"title":"Grey","offer_id":55971280945497,"sku":"8056697327892","price":269.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/0003\/8745\/files\/zandona-omnia-veiligheidsbeugel-maddelin-equestrian-zandona-5445822.png?v=1764778647"},{"product_id":"basic-chafe-guard","title":"Zandona Basic Chafe Guard Belly Protector","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Zandona Basic Chafe Guard is a simple, highly elastic chafe guard in black. It attaches to the girth with 4 loops and closes around the belly with a double strap. This places a layer of fabric over the girth area, where your legs meet the horse.

They combine a patented Flex-Carbon insert with Gel-Tech damping, a Coolmax inner lining and eighteen air openings. Zandona states them for showjumping. We stock them in black and brown, in one size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout these tendon boots\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe outer structure carries a \u003cstrong\u003eFlex-Carbon fibre insert\u003c\/strong\u003e, a patented solution from Zandona. You can see the carbon weave running as a band across the back of the shell. Zandona deliberately chose a flexible carbon insert rather than a rigid plate: the insert keeps giving with the shape of the leg, while the rest of the shell stays flexible thanks to what they call a Flex-Zone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnder the shell sits a build-up in layers. The outermost layer is \u003cstrong\u003e3D Air-Mesh\u003c\/strong\u003e, under it lies \u003cstrong\u003eperforated neoprene\u003c\/strong\u003e, and on the zones that take the most punishment there is \u003cstrong\u003eGel-Tech\u003c\/strong\u003e, a gel filling that absorbs a knock. Against the skin lies an inner lining with \u003cstrong\u003eCoolmax\u003c\/strong\u003e technology, a fibre that carries moisture away from the surface. \u003cstrong\u003eEighteen air openings\u003c\/strong\u003e run through the shell, so warm air and moisture can escape from under the boot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eZandona does state a weight for this model: \u003cstrong\u003e0.75 kg per pair\u003c\/strong\u003e for the size we carry. That works out at some 375 grams per boot. That is a usable figure, because in international jumping classes everything on one leg together may weigh no more than 500 grams, including when it is wet.

Beyond that, gold inserts and the Italian finish make the look of this model; the boots are produced in Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere too the limitations belong in the picture. The model is meant for the front legs; on the hind legs you use fetlock boots with their own shape and their own competition rules. A shell with a carbon insert is firm, but stiffer than a soft boot.
