Forged Dutch Stirrups

Authentic Forged Dutch Stirrups

These forged Dutch stirrups are hand-forged based on the original 1500 to 1550 designs discovered at Gagelbosch Castle in the Netherlands. Their robust steel construction provides a stable platform for riders, transforming horseback riding from simple transportation into a proper platform for mounted combat. Perfect for medieval enthusiasts, reenactors, and Renaissance fairs, these stirrups give historical authenticity to your riding gear or costume.

Protection and Practicality in Every Detail

The stirrups have wide, flared sides that shield the rider’s feet from sword slashes, crushing blows, and the chaos of the battlefield. The open design is good for armored footwear, such as heavy sabatons, for safe entry and exit without compromising mobility.

Durable Steel Construction for Long-Lasting Use

Crafted from tough steel, these Dutch stirrups are built to last. The solid design ensures years of reliability, whether used for light contact sparring, mounted performances, or costume display.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

• Wipe dry after use to remove moisture or dirt.
• Store in a dry place to prevent rusting.
• Occasional light oiling should be done for longevity.

Note: Each stirrup is hand-forged, so variations in shape, finish, or patina may be present.
