Tough 1 Stirrup Mounting Aid

I am 5' 4" and of "average" weight (130ish). When I was in my 40's I had a 16.3 hh horse. NEVER any issues getting up on that beats. Eight years ago I got out of horse ownership (kids grew up and left the nest). Fast forward to now. I'm still 5' 4" (ok, maybe now only 5' 3") and I wanted to get back into horse ownership. I knew the days of getting on a 16.3 hh horse were over so I bought a SMALL Quarter Horse, standing at only 14.2 HH. Much to my dismay I was having a heck of a time trying to get on her! Call it old age (I'm now 55) or issues with a prior back surgery but I just was having a heck of a time. I trail ride so getting off and on regularly was a must. I started looking for any type of mounting aid that would come to my rescue. NONE of them were rated higher than a 3 so I was very skeptical when I ordered this. I brought it out to the barn, saddled, up, hooked it up over the saddle horn and BEHIND (not in front of) the stirrup. I fully expected to swing back and forth or under the horse as other reveiws reported. However, I stepped in with my RIGHT foot, put my left foot in my stirrup and up and over I went. Settled nicely in the saddle, removed the aid, put it in the case and off I went. Stopped on the trail twice and tried to get on myself without the aid (not happening!). Used the aid again and NO issues at all. No swinging, no feeling of being unstable, nothing. Again, I'm 55. Not sure why some people had such issues. I didn't adjust the length at all from how it arrived. Full length. Probably hung a full 6" or so below my own stirrup. Would recommend. If you are having issues you are probably doing it wrong.

16.2 tb, I only needed stirrup to be a bit lower than where I need them for riding so this is perfect. Yes, if it’s too low (as per other reviews) it will swing under horse’s belly so I guess it depends on your flexibility and strength if it’ll work for you. It’s very well made. You can either let hit hang or clip to your breast collar ring w/a carabiner.

It didn’t meet my expectations it doesn’t work as it’s supposed to

I ordered the foot stirrup extender showing the solid foot piece. Was sent a low quality extender with a flimsy foot piece and strap. Sloppiness on sellers part.

It works for what I bought it for, but is harder to use than the type of stirrup that is pictured in the product description. This is fully nylon web, with no hard parts except the buckle. An equestrian would likely be disappointed.

I'm 4'10 and this has been a great help, especially knowing if I need to get off my horse on trails I am able to get back on with the help of this.

I ordered the hard plastic stirrup like in the pics on the website and I got this soft stirrup. I ordered the exact one in the past and it worked great. This one will work but. It’s frustrating not getting something you had ordered.

Worked well for me

J'ai fait l'essai de cet étrier de montage pour mes futures randonnées et je constate qu'il faudra que je lui ajoute une corde afin d'y insérer le pied car lorsque l'on veut y mettre le pied, l'étrier entre sous le cheval, donc, je crois qu'avec une méthode d'ajustement cet étrier pourra quand même dépanner.

La qualité est pas au rendez vous pour le prix.

This is not any good at all as soon as you put your foot in it swings under your horse not much help to get on more of a danger to you then being helpful
