What is the Barnes Buckle?
The Barnes Buckle fits between
the stirrup and the leather and releases the stirrup should the
rider’s foot become trapped during a fall thus preventing the
rider from being dragged.
The Buckle is made from marine
grade stainless steel (no problems with rust!) and under normal
riding conditions it will withstand 1,400 kgs before parting.
However, the change of angle should the rider’s foot become
trapped during a fall will mean that the buckle releases with just 6
kgs of pressure, thus preventing the rider from being dragged.
