Wood Visalia Stirrup

The open-neck design is a traditional western feature that allows for easier movement and a more natural hang. It helps the stirrup sit correctly against your saddle fender, reducing torque on your ankles and knees during long rides.

These stirrups feature a 3-inch stirrup leather slot width, which is the standard size for most western saddles. They should accommodate standard-width leathers without issue.

The 2.5-inch tread depth provides a stable, supportive base for your boot. This extra surface area helps distribute your weight more evenly across the ball of your foot, which can reduce fatigue during extended time in the saddle.

They are built for both. While they offer a clean, professional aesthetic suitable for the show ring, the wood and leather construction is durable enough to handle the wear and tear of daily training sessions.

The leather is durable as-is, but applying a light coat of leather conditioner before your first ride can help keep the material supple and resistant to moisture. This is a good practice to maintain the longevity of the wrap.
