Wholesale & OEM Icelandic Stirrups

Riding gaited breeds, particularly the Icelandic horse, requires specialized tack engineered to support the rider's balance during high-speed, lateral movements like the tölt and flying pace. Shahan Empire Industry manufactures professional-grade Icelandic stirrups specifically designed to meet the unique ergonomic and safety demands of this equestrian discipline. As a premium addition to our overarching equestrian hardware catalog, these distinctive irons provide high-volume tack distributors and specialized saddleries with an essential, high-margin product for the gaited horse market.

Double-Curved Design & Offset Eye Alignment

Unlike traditional straight-sided riding irons, our Icelandic stirrups feature a distinctive double-curved (or S-shaped) design with an offset eye. This precise geometric construction allows the stirrup to hang perpendicular to the horse's barrel without twisting the stirrup leather, reducing knee torque and allowing the rider's foot to fall into a natural, secure position. Furthermore, the curved outer branch acts as an innate safety mechanism, enabling the foot to slide free effortlessly in the event of a fall. Because gaited riding relies heavily on subtle, refined leg communication rather than forceful contact, these well-balanced stirrups pair exceptionally well with the lightweight precision of our wire spurs.

Medical-Grade Stainless Steel & OEM Supply

We forge our Icelandic stirrups from drop-forged, rust-resistant stainless steel, ensuring they maintain their structural integrity and polished finish through years of rigorous trail and competitive use. Available with deeply treaded rubber or metallic footbeds for maximum wet-weather grip, these irons are fully customizable for our B2B partners. Whether you are outfitting a riding academy that utilizes sensitive equines requiring gentle rubber spurs or supplying a global retail network, our factory-direct manufacturing delivers scalable, export-quality hardware tailored to your exact brand specifications.
