Endorsed Products:
Horse Safety Australia has been looking into endorsing more products that relate to safety in horse activities. Below are a number which we have investigated and endorsed, with more products to follow: e.g. Tuff Rock products. Come and see us at the Affinity Insurance stall at Equitana where all our endorsed products will be on display.
Please ensure that any of these products are used according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.Toestoppers
(newly endorsed by Horse Safety Australia)
This is a product that we are proud to endorse… Fitted to your existing stirrups these prevent the rider being caught up and dragged. A proper detailed description of this product will be here soon, meanwhile have a look at their website:
http://www.equineperformance.They come in three different types, one for ‘Equestrian’ stirrups, one for Western type, and a ‘universal’ version which fits all. Photos and more details to follow soon here…check us out on Facebook for photos if you can’t wait!
If you are getting these, make sure you carefully follow the directions on their site, you need to measure your existing stirrups to ensure the Toestoppers fit them properly. As with any of these products, correct fitting and use is an important part of ensuring they work properly.

Champion Helmets
We are happy to endorse the Southern Stars Saddlery Champion Helmets. If you look inside a helmet you will find a ‘kitemark’ which indicates that it has met extra standards.
These helmets are different from most of the EU 1384 helmets as they submit to monitoring during their manufacture, to ensure the end products do what they promise (as well as looking so good)!
Horse Safety Australia instructors and trail guides can receive a discount on this product through a special arrangement with Southern Stars Saddlery.
Contact the Horse Safety Australia office for details.
N.B. Horse Safety Australia does *NOT* endorse many EU helmets, as a large
number of them do not meet the Australian safety standards for monitoring of
the product during manufacture.
Smart Rider (Breakaway) Stirrups
The stirrup comes apart with the weight of the rider in the event of a fall, no more risks of being dragged!
