Fit and shape are very important when choosing stirrups. Custom Handcrafted Stirrups allow makers to adjust size and form to suit the rider. This helps the foot rest naturally and reduces strain. Saddle Stirrups that fit well can improve posture and balance during riding. Wooden stirrups are often shaped by hand, which allows smooth edges and even weight. This careful shaping supports safety and comfort. When riders understand how fit affects riding, they can better appreciate handcrafted work. Properly shaped stirrups support both the rider’s body and the horse’s movement.
