Welcome to equicapers...

equicapers is an online shop for all your equestrian needs, we cover all aspects however we heavily promote safe horse riding for everyone and with this in mind the 'Barnes' family created 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.
