- "The practical design of the MDC Stirrups allows me to maintain a better position and balance. The leathers stay comfortably fitted
and the stirrups remain perfectly positioned on the balls of my feet. They are truly innovative and a pleasure to use."
STEFFEN PETERS
United States Olympic Team
- "MDC Stirrups are the best and most comfortable stirrups I have ever tried! I highly recommend them!"
SCHUYLER RILEY
Winner American Invitational • Winner Spruce Meadows Chrysler Classic
- "I love the stirrups!!! I thought you might like a picture here from OPUS SEPT going down the Derby bank at Spruce Meadows when
he won the Chrysler Classic this summer. I think the stirrups are fantastic. I have not had any knee pain since I started using them.
I believe the stirrups allow for a much more direct contact with the horse. The thigh knee and calf have more even pressure so that
less side torque makes for no knee pain."
SUE BLINKS
United States Olympic Team
- "What a super design idea the MDC Stirrup represents. Great comfort and a good looking safety stirrup all in one. I love the extra
comfort and security of riding in my MDC Stirrups."
KIM PRINCE
Winner Devon Gold Cup and Capitol Challenge World Cup
- "I am so pleased to have stirrups that are designed for both comfort and function. Since I started using my comfort stirrups I have
felt that my stirrup irons are perfectly placed on the balls of my feet. They seem to stay in place better than any other stirrups I’ve
used. Thank you again for a great product!"
LAUREN HOUGH
- "The MDC Stirrups reduce the concussion in my knees and ankles and allow a real sense of even pressure throughout the leg. I
really feel more secure in my position as my stirrups are right where I want them. Its just one more thing not to worry about as I get
ready for competition."

LINDA PARELLI
Parelli Natural Horsemanship
- "I want to thank you for the stirrups which I've been using in earnest. I love them. They fit perfectly with my concept of riding with
"Fluidity" allowing riders to truly mold their legs around their horse and not have the stirrups interfere. We sell products that we
believe in to our loyal customers via our companion company, Parelli Collection. Our partners Letitia and Art Glen are interested to
contact you to investigate the possibility of retailing the stirrup, so I gave them your web and email address. We look forward to a
mutually rewarding relationship"
LESLIE MORSE
2005 World Cup, Las Vegas
- "MDC Stirrups are the way of the future. They allow me to use my leg in the proper way. Stirrups with cutting edge technology."
KEVIN BABINGTON
Irish Olympic Team
- "I really like the stirrups because they keep my leathers flat against the saddle and give my leg a better position."
ARLENE PAGE
- "We had a good show last weekend with Wild One winning both the Intermediaire II and Grand Prix in the national show at the
Palm Beach Dressage Derby. I love the stirrups, Incredibly comfortable...that little bit of shock absorbtion IS quite relaxing on my
leg and allows my leg to be longer. The safety aspect is especially reassuring to me (a mother of a 5 year old) without being an
overt safety stirrup."
CHARLOTTE BRENDAHL-BAKER
1992 Olymipc Bronze Medal • USEF “S” Judge
- "MDC stirrups are the absolute cutting edge of stirrups. I love the way they are always in the right position. I would highly
recommend them to riders at any level."
Courtney King
- "I have never been a big believer that a certain type of stirrup could provide more comfort and support than another, much less
actually eliminate pain. Well, the MDC stirrups have made me a believer!"
KRISTINA HARRISON-NANESS
Pan American Games Gold Medalist • Intermediaire I National Champion
- "MDC stirrups are far and away the most comfortable stirrups I've ever used! I've put them on all my saddles and have
recommended them to my students. I wouldn't have thought that a stirrup could make such a difference, but I'm convinced now."
TAMMY HOAG
Grand Prix Dressage Rider • New York Times Bestselling Novelist
- "Not only are the MDC stirrups smart-looking and safety-conscious (two words seldom used in the same sentence), they literally
invite the leg to fall into the correct position, and to stay there without discomfort in the knee or ankle. I loved them from the first
moment I put my feet in them!"
JENNIFER HOFFMAN
United States Equestrian Team Long List
- "The MDC Stirrups have been a perfect match for me and my horses. The pain relief in my hips and knees has been amazing !! I
never wanted to believe that a stirrup could provide such comfort. I have recommended both the MDC Ultimate and the MDC
Comfort S tirrup to all of my students, especially my Adult Am. and my Jr./Young Riders. They too have all made such tremendous
improvements. I would like to thank you so much, not only for myself but on behalf of all of my students, for brining to us such an
amazing product which is truly priceless."
CALLAN SOLEM
Multiple Grand Prix Winner
- "MDC Intelligent stirrups are the only stirrups that I can ride and jump in all day without having the distraction of sore knees and
ankles. The rotating top provides a variety of positions so that you can be comfortable on any horse in any discipline!"
METTE ROSENCRANTZ
- "Finally a stirrup that works! Your foot and your leg,fall into place! Simply the best!"
JOHN ZOPATTI
Four-time GCDA Dressage Trainer of the Year • USDF Gold Medalist • Multiple USDF Regional Champion at FEI Level
- “I am personally a huge fan of the MDC Intelligent Stirrups. They offer unparalleled comfort and allow for the closest possible
contact with the horse. I recommend them for all my students to help improve their leg position and contact while riding. They
eliminate pressure on your ankles to aid in developing a deeper more effective seat and leg.”
JESSICA JAHIEL
Author • Clinician • Lecturer
- "I work primarily with adult riders, most of whom have some physical pain and limitations due to illness or injury. For many riders
with painful feet, ankles, knees, hips, or backs, these stirrups can help riding become a joy again instead of a source of frustration
and pain. These stirrups help the horses as well, because the riders' increased comfort and relaxation are invariably reflected in
the horses' increased relaxation and improved way of going. Thank you on behalf of many, many riders - the MDC Ultimate
Stirrups® represent a quantum leap in rider comfort, security, support, and safety."
PETER GRAY
Two Time Olympian • Canadian Three Day Event Team Coach
- "These stirrups are an amazing innovation! Safety to an eventer is all important and being able to regain a stirrup immediately &
effortlessly on course is priceless ... not to mention they are comfortable, shock absorbing and actually keep my heels down ! "

AMY TRYON
Athens 2004 Olympics
- "I love MDC Stirrups! They are truly unique and a welcome addition to my equipment. I have them preset at 45 degrees which
eliminates nearly all the pressure across my shin from the leathers. The stirrups offer me the freedom to use my aids comfortably
and effectively. Thank you!!"
WILL COLEMAN
2004 Young Rider of the Year
- "For eventing, as in any equestrian discipline, sound technique and balance breed good performance for all three phases. With the
MDC Line of rotating stirrups, I am able to move efficiently, maintain an effective leg position and the correct rider balance whether
I am riding dressage, show jumping or galloping cross country. The solid base of support and technical improvements which I feel
in these stirrups have convinced me that they are, without a doubt, the most advanced stirrups on the market today."
WILL FAUDREE
2003 Pan American Gold Medalist • 2004 Olympic Traveling Reserve
- "Anything that helps me with feeling more secure in my position is a must in my program. And these stirrups are a must! Thank you
for everything."
JESSICA HEIDEMANN

- "The Stirrups are great, I know I can depend on them. It's one less thing to worry about in the ring."
CHRISTINE RIVLIN-HENKE
USDF Bronze, Silver and Gold Medal Dressage Rider
- "I love them! I have an old injury..a broken left ankle with many pins and plates and limitied rotation movement in it. So, with these
stirrups, adjusted at the 45 degree angle, I have no trouble picking up the stirrup AND they are really great on my knees.."
PRACTICAL HORSEMAN
Practical Horseman - February 2005
- MDC is proud to have their line of Intelligent Stirrups captured on the cover of Practical Horseman.
"I have been a chiropractor for seventeen years and riding since I was ten years old and to say that my first ride in your MDC Ultimate Stirrups
was the best neuromuscular adjustment I have had is no exaggeration.
My first impression and what I relate to others, is that riding in the MDC Stirrups is like riding without stirrups, allowing a deep soft symmetrical seat with
full contact of my thigh and leg. The freedom of the entire limb from the hip joint through the toes truly allows an independent seat, regardless of the
stirrup length.
The feedback that i received from my patients that are using the MDC stirrup is outstanding especially from those who have had chronic knee, hip and
lower back problems. Reports that patients are able to ride for three to four hours without pain and with much less stress and fatigue throughout their
entire body is quite a testimony to the biomechanical efficency that the stirrups allow.
From the horse’s perspective, if we have less stress and strain going into our mechanics, then it seems an apparent observation that the horse’s back
would experience less stress and pressure in the area of the stirrup bars. Not to go unsaid that if our weight and aids are more fluid and correct, the
horse will benefit directly and immediately.
The added safety of being able to retrieve a stirrup is great, although I have personally appreciated the ease of foot placement when mounting (no
hands) and getting my leg out in front of me while being bucked about.
I absolutely recommend everyone should ride in a pair of MDC Intelligent Stirrups for the improved ease in mechanics, improved safety and the sheer
joy of it.
One thousand thanks."

- "I would like to say thank you for the brilliant design of your stirrups. I am 16 years old and have suffered from chronic knee pain since
I was 14. At one point, it was so bad that I was looking at taking time off of riding to recover, because when I did ride, I had to ride
without stirrups and I couldn't compete without them. This was unfortunately right before the 2004 USEF Junior Dressage Team
Championships (recognized by the USOC as a Junior Olympic Equestrian Event) which I had qualified for. My trainer (Jennifer
Hoffmann) recommended that I try your stirrups, and it made all the difference in the world!! I was finally able to ride virtually pain-free,
and I was able to compete in the championships, where I won the team gold medal and finished third individually. Since then, I have
put your stirrups on all of my saddles, and I won't ride in anything else. Your stirrups saved my riding career!"
