"Our Nettles Barrel Racing Stirrup will make the perfect companion to your saddle. Besides being as comfortable as your favorite pair of boots, the stirrup’s wide middle and cut away sides gives that racer excellent in and out access. A slightly shorter pin-to-tread length places the stirrup’s throat closer to the ankle for less shin pressure while those six wooden laminates add extra strength. The Nettles Barrel Racer offers a non-skid gripper tread."
