Horseback riding is a loved sport all over the world and it offers a ton of fun and possibilities for children and adults. Some riders prefer to ride at home and simply have a relaxing hobby to come to after a long day at work whereas others are competitive riders and aim to show on national or even international level.

Whatever your discipline or riding level is, the fact remains that riding horses is a risky sport and you will run into dangerous situations. This is why it is essential to take precautions and to use all available safety gear, such as a helmet, safety vest, and safety stirrups.

Ophena’s magnetic safety stirrups level up the safety component of horseback riding

Ophena is a Swedish equestrian brand that designs and manufactures magnetic safety stirrups and non-magnetic safety stirrups for professionals and amateurs. The use of safety stirrups while riding is essential no matter what your chosen discipline is, as their purpose is to prevent the risk of a serious injury in case of an accident.

While there are various different safety stirrup models out there, Ophena has stepped up the game by creating a magnetic safety stirrup model that has received over 1300 five-star reviews.

Ophena’s magnetic safety stirrups have features that set it apart from the rest. The two magnetic safety stirrup models that Ophena offers are Ophena S and Ophena S Pro, and they both have the following features:

  • Magnetic connection between the stirrups and the magnetic insoles
  • Open design to allow for the rider’s foot to release in case of an accident
  • Excellent treading and grip to prevent slipping
  • Smart Attach™ -system for easier attachment and detachment of stirrups

The magnetic safety stirrup models are a practical choice especially for jumpers and hunters, and they have been approved by the FEI for showjumping. While dressage riders cannot use these stirrups at shows (with the exception of para-dressage riders), they can also benefit from the magnetic safety stirrups at home.

What do the customers say?

Ophena has received excellent reviews across the board, and the customers have reported, for instance, the following:

  • Improved balance and posture
  • Increased focus
  • Safer feeling
  • Decreased ankle, hip, and joint pain
  • Improved confidence

Non-magnetic safety stirrups for all disciplines, including dressage

Ophena has also brought non-magnetic safety stirrups to the market. The stirrup model is called Ophena A and it does not have a magnetic connection, making it suitable for all disciplines.

Instead of a magnetic connection and an open design, Ophena A features patent-pending technology called the Twister. It’s a silicone piece that anchors at two points on the outer side of the stirrup and releases in all directions. This helps to release the rider’s foot in case of an accident, making your riding experience safer than before.

Ophena A is approved for national and international shows and it elevates the safety aspect of your riding, no matter what your chosen discipline is.

Ophena magnetic and non-magnetic safety stirrups are only available at Ophena.com.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
