Weaver Wooden Oxbow Stirrups

The rounded, oxbow shape is designed to keep your foot centered in the stirrup, which helps prevent it from sliding too far through. This design is a favorite among working cowboys and trail riders for its stability and security in the saddle.

These stirrups feature a 3-inch neck, which is the standard size for most western stirrup leathers. They should slide on easily, but it is always a good idea to measure your current leathers to ensure a proper fit.

Yes, their traditional wooden construction is durable and reliable for long hours in the saddle. However, keep in mind that wooden oxbows have a narrower tread than modern roping stirrups, so you may want to consider adding a rubber tread cover for extra grip and comfort.

To keep the wood in good condition, wipe them down with a damp cloth after use to remove dirt and sweat. Periodically applying a light coat of wood oil or conditioner can help prevent the wood from drying out or cracking over time.

While wood is generally lighter than solid steel, these stirrups have a substantial, sturdy feel that many riders prefer for balance. They provide enough weight to keep the stirrup hanging correctly without feeling cumbersome.
