Safety when horse riding top tip: Make sure your stirrup irons are the correct size

The stirrup irons in the above photograph are too small for the rider which could result in the rider's foot getting trapped in the stirrup and the rider being dragged in the event of a fall. Always make sure that your stirrup irons are the correct size when horse riding, you should be able to to fit a small finger (roughly 1/2") either side of your boot when positioned in the iron.
