Introducing Saddle Sidekicks—the kid-friendly Western buddy stirrups designed to help your child feel safe, balanced, and confident in the saddle. Whether you're hitting the trail or just starting lessons, these innovative riding accessories give young equestrians the support they need to ride right from the start.
Now available in two options to suit your riding needs:
Classic Stirrup Version – Open design for traditional riders who want extra support.
Tapadero Version – Enclosed toe to help prevent the foot from slipping through the stirrup—perfect for younger or more cautious riders.
Crafted from premium EVA foam, Saddle Sidekicks are lightweight, soft to the touch, and incredibly durable. They're gentle on saddles and quick to install with simple adjustable straps—no tools required. Just strap them on and get riding!
